About Us

Tideline Marine is a family owned and operated business. Bill and Debbie Tarplee have been part of the Jacksonville community for more than a quarter century. Located at 159 Old Bridge Street, on the banks of New River, we maintain a Ship's Store with a variety of supplies that boating enthusiasts and anglers need most often.

We are forever customer-focused, and offer top quality products and professional services at reasonable prices. Our list of satisfied customers numbers in the thousands, and many span multiple generations of the same family. That list, we are proud to say, continues to grow.

At Tideline, we're open 7-days a week from early spring through Thanksgiving. And, we don't close up at noon, either. We keep the doors open until 6 pm weekdays, and 5 pm on weekends. During the winter months, we maintain a Monday through Saturday schedule.

NOTE: TIDELINE and The Ship's Wheel observe winter hours until Easter. We close Saturday afternoons at 2, and we are closed Sundays. We will be observing the Christmas holidays as well.

Our service department has factory trained and certified technicians with experience on new and old outboard and inboard/outdrive engines.

We offer new and pre-owned boats, motors and trailers. If we don't have what you're looking for on our lot or in our store, we can get it for you. In short order. And, our staff is eager to help you arrange financing for your new boat or motor.

Every boat we sell, whether new or pre-owned, is water-tested by our staff. Our customers will be given the opportunity to sea-trial any boat they purchase from Tideline Marine.
