Nico Jensen and Aaron Wenholz - Longship Marine

The Boat Geeks #10 - Nico Jensen and Aaron Wenholz (Longship Marine)

Recorded 3.7.24

Nico and Aaron are one of the busiest couples you will ever meet. In addition to running Longship Marine - one of the last remaining Marine Supply/Consignment stores in Washington - they also restore old wooden boats and are remodeling the original Sons of Norway Hall in downtown Poulsbo.

Recorded aboard their floating studio in Port Townsend, WA, in the heart of the Pacific Northwest, your hosts Darren and Daeron take a deep dive into the world of boating.

This episode: Nico and Aaron discuss their passion for old wooden boats, and what motivates them to restore so many over the years. At one time they were bringing back to life four large wooden boats - all while operating one of the most popular marine supply stores in Puget Sound. Longship Marine sells new, used, and consignment boat parts and supplies, with some boaters making a pilgrimage to the store from other states! The liveaboards are also in the midst of construction, turning the old 1818 Grieg Hall into an events center and marine classroom.
