Our story
Puget Sound Chandlery
Built by former Port of Tacoma harbor operations staff — Puget Sound Chandlery has supplied tugs and workboats out of Tacoma since 2015.
Who we serve
Who Puget Sound Chandlery is for
Owner-operators and small fleets on Puget Sound who want a chandler who knows the tides, the anchorages, and the harbor — not a catalog rep who has never been on the water.
Not equipped to serve fleets outside Puget Sound or needing bulk lube and engine parts — for those, see Pacific Workboat Supply.
