Peter Johnston Ship Chandlers

Peter Johnston Ship Chandlers is a family-owned marine retailer based at 21 Morrison Street, Hobart, Tasmania. The business notes a long history (operating since 1964 on the website) and runs an online shop powered by Shopify alongside its physical store in central Hobart.

What Sailors Will Find Here

The online catalogue covers sailing clothing and footwear, general chandlery, anchors and moorings, deck hardware and everyday maintenance items. There is a strong practical focus: replacement parts, fittings and consumables sit alongside foul-weather gear and dinghy kit, so you can shop for both clothing and vessel essentials in one place.

Yacht Care and Rigging

The website advertises yacht-care and rigging services, indicating the shop does more than sell parts. That makes it a useful contact for sailors who need hands-on help with standing or running rigging and routine yacht maintenance in Hobart.

Brands Worth Knowing

The store carries recognised sailing and marine brands that sailors will recognise, such as Musto, Gill, Dubarry, Vaikobi, Bolle, Ronstan and Railblaza. Those brands cover technical offshore clothing, footwear, eyewear and a range of deck equipment.

Shopping and Visiting

You can shop via the online store or visit the Hobart showroom at 21 Morrison Street. The website lists product categories, detailed brand pages and a checkout for Australian customers. Website product pages show clothing, safety kit and a selection of deck hardware and rigging items.

A Good Place to Look When...

• You’re arranging rigging work or yacht-care services in Hobart and want to combine service with parts shopping.
• You’re slowly refitting a cruising boat and want to buy clothing, deck fittings and safety equipment from a single online store with a physical counter in Tasmania.
