About the St. Charles Store
St. Charles is located within the greater St. Louis, Mo. area on the Missouri River, the longest river in the United States. Just a few miles away, the Missouri River converges with the Mississippi River, which is the second longest river in U.S. Inland boaters have plenty of options when it comes to navigating these legendary waterways and surrounding lakes. West Marine St. Charles has the boat accessories and supplies Midwesterners need for an enjoyable boating excursion.
With miles of the Mississippi River to explore, the area has more than a dozen marinas for boaters to launch and embark on an adventure. Hideaway Harbor Park is a great spot for recreational boaters to get an up-close look at American bald eagles nesting and scenic views of 200-feet-tall bluffs. Our experienced staff can recommend the boat parts, safety gear, navigation tools, life jackets, marine electronics and more to outfit any boating adventure.
Prevailing winds make nearby Carlyle Lake a sailor’s playground. With 26,000 acres of open water, the lake is Illinois’s largest man-made body of water. It has four marinas and a very active sailing community. West Marine St. Charles is the area’s trusted source for sailing gear, rigging and sailboat hardware.
Fishermen can access the Mississippi river at Riverside Landing to catch largemouth bass and bluegill. August A. Busch Memorial Conservation Area in St. Charles has more than 30 lakes where anglers can try their luck at catching catfish, crappie and trout. Fishermen count on West Marine for the best fishing gear, rods, reels and tackle.
Kayakers can launch at Klondike Park for a relaxing and scenic paddle on the Missouri River. Nearby Creve Coeur Lake, the largest natural lake in Missouri, offers kayakers more than 320 acres to explore. We offer a great selection of kayaks, paddles and accessories to outfit any kayaking adventure.
