Award-winning Tack and Jibe continues expansion with launch of newly rebuilt marine chandlery platform
23 June 2026

Following recent success at the British Marine Boat Retailers and Brokers Association (BRBA) Awards, where Tack and Jibe was named both Business of the Year and Product or Service of the Year, the company has announced the launch of its newly rebuilt online chandlery platform as part of its ongoing expansion across the UK marine sector.

Available now at shop.tackandjibe.com, the new platform has been rebuilt from the ground up and represents a significant investment in Tack and Jibe's vision of creating a fully connected digital ecosystem for boat buyers, private sellers, brokers and marine businesses.

The launch brings thousands of marine products together within a modern, scalable platform that has been designed to mirror the look, feel and functionality of the company's rapidly growing marketplace.

In the coming weeks, the chandlery will be fully integrated into the main Tack and Jibe platform, creating a seamless experience that allows users to move effortlessly between boat listings, marine services and chandlery products.

The integration is expected to increase engagement across the wider Tack and Jibe ecosystem, generating additional visibility and cross-platform traffic for brokers while creating a more complete ownership journey for buyers and boat owners.

From the beginning, our ambition has never been to build just another boat marketplace. We believe the marine industry deserves a platform that supports every stage of the boating journey. The launch of our newly rebuilt chandlery is another major milestone in that vision. By integrating marine retail, boat sales, services and industry partnerships into a single ecosystem, we're creating a platform that delivers value not only for buyers and owners, but also for the brokers and businesses that support them. Our focus remains on helping the industry grow by providing better tools, better visibility and a better overall experience for everyone involved.

The chandlery is a natural extension of what we're building. Every decision we make is driven by the question of how we can provide more value to our users and our industry partners. The upcoming integration between the marketplace and chandlery means that brokers benefit from increased user engagement and additional traffic throughout the platform, while buyers and owners gain access to the products, services and information they need in one place. We're not simply building a website to market boats. We're building an ecosystem that supports the wider marine community and helps connect the many businesses and individuals that make our industry so special.

The launch follows a period of significant development for Tack and Jibe, including the complete redevelopment of its core marketplace platform, the introduction of AI-powered tools, enhanced broker functionality, advanced analytics, CRM integration capabilities and strategic partnerships designed to strengthen the company's position within the UK marine industry.

With further platform integrations, partnerships and new features planned throughout 2026, Tack and Jibe continues to invest in technology that supports the future growth of recreational boating and the businesses that serve it.

The newly rebuilt chandlery platform is now live and available at shop.tackandjibe.com.
