Born in Southern California near the ocean, with a love for the sea and art, it was natural for Bob & Karen Crowell to open an all nautical shop in Oceanside, CA.  They have enjoyed sailing, ships and the people who are a part of it for over 25 years.

Bob's "Blue Ribbons" for model building and Karen's background in art, design and decorating help make boathouseshop.com not just a store, but an experience.  We have recently moved from our "brick & motar" store to an online and eBay store.
