Paradise Nauticals

Our shop is at 432 Mahi Gran. Inside, you’ll find shelves full of brass items and old compasses. A lot of our day is spent packing boxes and making sure the glass pieces don't break during shipping. The street outside stays crowded with bikes and carts all day long. Dust settles on the telescopes, so we wipe them down every morning to keep them clean for the customers. It's a small space for the amount of inventory we carry on our shelves. My uncle had a shop like this, which is how I got started in the business. We aren't looking to become a big corporation. Selling nautical items to people who enjoy them is enough for us to make a living. Slow days are spent talking to the neighbors over a cup of tea. Other times, we are rushing to get all the orders out the door before the post office closes. A fancy website or marketing team isn't something we have. If you want to see what we have, you just come to 432 Mahi Gran and look around for yourself. The items are heavy and have that metallic smell that stays on your hands. It's a decent way to earn a living in this part of town. We have been in this spot for a few years, and the walls could use some fresh paint. But the roof stays dry and the door locks tight at night. We just keep doing what we do.
