I bought a small pocket knife here that's lasted me over 10 years, and I'm mostly sure it was less than $10. Store is clean and presentable, and staff are friendly. Overall this is a useful, well-run fishing supply/hardware store. The dock access is a bonus too.

Preston’s has everything I could ever need for my sailboat, and if they don’t, they can get it within 24 hrs. The stock is comprehensive, the staff is expertly knowledgeable and the service is impeccable. We are very lucky to have Preston’s close by!
