Great Lakes Skipper grew from a family business that started over 50 years ago providing Midwestern boaters with a great source of high quality discount boat parts. In 2002 the Skipper went online from our small offices in Southeastern Wisconsin and has grown into the nation’s largest outlet specializing in the distribution of out-of-production, hard-to-find and obsolete boat parts. We now employ over 45 full time boating specialists committed to making boating affordable for you.
