What Rolnautic does

Rolnautic Las Palmas S.L. is a Spanish private limited company (sociedad limitada, tax ID B-35820778) founded in 2007 and headquartered in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, operating as a specialist retailer of nautical equipment and a provider of related technical services. The company is part of the Rodritol Group, which has more than 20 years of experience in the nautical market, and runs a hybrid direct-to-consumer model that combines a 500-600 m2 physical store in Puerto Deportivo de Las Palmas (with office, showroom, warehouse, and an in-house laboratory for electronic equipment repair and radio beacon programming) with a Magento 2-powered e-commerce storefront that ships to the Canary Islands, the Iberian Peninsula, the Balearic Islands, and international destinations across Europe, the Americas, Asia, and Cabo Verde.

The product catalog spans more than 16 categories, including electronics (VHF radios, GPS/plotters, autopilots, satellite communication), electrical systems (Vetus and WAECO batteries, solar panels, charge separators, inverters, generators), safety equipment, anchors and moorings, hardware, sails, motors, maintenance supplies, water and ventilation, deck accessories, onboard comfort, dinghies, gifts and clothing, light sailing, and navigation charts. Featured brands include Vetus, WAECO, WINNER OPTIMIST, J Sail, and Imray. The company is homologated by the Direccion General de la Marina Mercante since 2007 (registration M220070023) to perform installation, repair, and maintenance of radio electrical equipment for vessels operating in maritime zones A1-A2, and is certified to ISO 9001 (quality) and ISO 14001 (environmental) standards by Lloyds Register since 2014.

Rolnautic's revenue mix is anchored by nautical equipment and parts sales, supplemented by maintenance and repair services for yachts and medium-sized boats and by authorized installation services for radio electrical equipment. The customer base spans recreational boat owners (primary persona, including local, national, and foreign navigators in transit), Spanish government and public institutions (Armada Espanola, Cruz Roja Espanola, Civil Guard patrol boats), port services (Port Pilots of Las Palmas, mooring services), maritime repair yards, and national and international charter companies. Pricing is standard unit pricing on the website with taxes included; orders over EUR 100 qualify for free shipping within the Canary Islands, while international customers bear customs duties. The team consists of 14 staff, and the company has been an official sponsor of the ARC (Atlantic Racing Cruising) regatta for 12 years.

Direct peers

• SailboatStuff: U.S. online marine retailer focused on sailboat hardware, rigging, deck hardware, and sailmaking consumables. Comparable size and curated-direct-to-consumer model for the sailing segment.
• Defender Marine: U.S.-based marine equipment retailer with deep catalog across electronics, electrical, safety, and deck hardware; known for catalog and online sales to both recreational and professional boat owners, structurally similar to Rolnautic's recreational+institutional mix.
• Fisheries Supply: Long-established Pacific Northwest marine retailer with both retail and online channels supplying recreational and commercial boaters with electronics, electrical, safety, and deck hardware. Comparable omnichannel specialty retailer model.
• Ocean Safety: UK-based specialist marine safety equipment retailer and distributor (lifejackets, liferafts, EPIRBs) — already a vendor to Rolnautic. Strong overlap in safety equipment category and regulatory-adjacent positioning.
• Garhauer Marine Hardware: U.S. manufacturer-retailer of sailboat hardware (blocks, rigging, deck hardware) supplying both DIY boaters and shipyards. Overlaps strongly with Rolnautic's hardware, sailboat-equipment, and installation-services categories.
• Jamestown Distributors: Specialty marine retailer of boatbuilding, hardware, and finishing products with strong online presence and direct-to-consumer focus. Similar mid-sized omni-channel specialist positioning to Rolnautic.
• Imtra (Imtra Corporation): U.S. marine equipment distributor and retailer specializing in high-end electronics, bow thrusters, and lighting, with technical service and installation capabilities. Comparable combination of curated catalog plus professional services.
• SVB (Segel-Versand Berlin): Germany's largest specialist marine retailer, combining extensive online catalog with installation and repair service capabilities. Closest comparable in European footprint, omnichannel model, and recreational-vs-professional customer mix.

Broad incumbents

• West Marine: The largest U.S. marine equipment retailer operating hundreds of stores plus a national e-commerce site. Directly comparable product catalog (electronics, safety, hardware, anchoring, electrical) to Rolnautic, but materially larger scale and broad incumbent.

Regional players

• Nautilyser / Vela Nautica-style Spanish Marine Retailers: UK-based long-standing family marine chandlery combining physical counter sales with online catalog — most analogous in Europe to Rolnautic's hybrid model, but operating in a different national market.
