About NuWave Marine

Built by Boaters. Trusted Nationwide.

NuWave Marine was founded by longtime boating professional Ken Borrelli—an industry veteran dedicated to helping boaters find the right parts, boats, and service without the hassle. We’re not a faceless online seller or a drop-ship operation. We operate a full-service retail location, stock thousands of products in-house, and have experienced team members ready to answer the phone when you call.

From sourcing hard-to-find components to offering real-world advice from people who live and breathe boating, NuWave Marine is built to support you at every step.
