Who we are and what we do:

Hamilton Marine is the largest marine store in New England. It was started 45 years ago in Wayne and Loraine Hamilton’s Searsport garage. Hamilton marine has grown to six locations throughout the state of Maine, with stores in Searsport, Portland, Rockland, Southwest Harbor, Jonesport and Kittery. We sell to boat builders, recreational boaters, commercial fishermen, divers, and industrial mariners.

Close to 200 people are employed among the six stores. Dress is casual, the atmosphere is friendly and family-like, and the work is diversified and demanding. Customers, who share our interest in boats and things marine, can shop in our stores, from our 376-page catalog, and through our Internet Store. Our catalog is sent all over the world.

Most job duties fall within departments: Store, Administrative and Support Operations. However, every employee has the opportunity to work in any department as well as other Hamilton Marine locations on a temporary basis. Our people go where the business needs them.
