Maritime Marine Supply

What Maritime Marine Supply does

Maritime Marine Supply is a privately held Canadian distributor founded in 1920, headquartered in Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island, with a second office in New Glasgow, Nova Scotia. The company supplies aftermarket marine parts and equipment across 25+ catalogue categories, including electronics, electrical systems, diesel parts, drivetrain, controls and steering, boatcare, and clothing. Its assortment is anchored on tier-one marine electronics and electrical brands — Garmin, Raymarine, Simrad, Blue Sea Systems, Victron Energy, and Marinco (Ancor) — covering radar, chartplotters, NMEA 2000 networking, power management, and satellite communications, with a recent extension into off-road and powersport navigation devices such as the Garmin Tread and Zumo lines.

The company operates a hybrid go-to-market combining a Canada-wide independent marine dealer network with a direct-to-customer e-commerce storefront priced in CAD, supplemented by social media presence on Facebook, Instagram, and X. Pricing is a unit-pricing model per item, ranging from roughly CAD $22 for small NMEA terminators to over CAD $4,000 for radar systems, with no recurring or subscription component. Customers are segmented horizontally into boat owners/maritime professionals (end consumers) and marine dealers (channel partners), with no named large enterprise accounts disclosed.

Revenue is generated through one-time product sales across the catalogue; no subscription, services, financing, or SaaS revenue streams were identified. The company is independently owned with no disclosed parent, external investors, or M&A activity, and is led by President Ron Savidant, Vice President of Sales Lee Toole, Vice President of Finance Laura Stewart, and Director/Owner Luke Hansen-MacDonald, supported by operations, customer service, and sales staff including bilingual English/French representatives.
