I have been shopping at PJ's for 30 years and always found them to be super helpful. From dinghy sailing gear for kids through to adult racing and ocean gear, they have all the range. I am now using their boat care services as well, as it just makes our boating so much more enjoyable - we work hard and do what we know how to do - then pay the team at PJ's to do what they do well.
They are also amazing sponsors of local sailing events, across a range of clubs and classes.

I have shopped at PJ’s for a while now and have always found them to be helpful and friendly. They have got a great range that is competitively priced and are happy to order things in. For me, they are also conveniently located. Would recommend Will, Michael & Roger any day.

Do not shop here. My sister bought a $200 gift voucher as a 50th birthday present & mailed it to the recipient in Devonport. It was never received. Three times we have been into the store with a bank statement showing the purchase date, amount & that it was purchased from this store. They refuse to honor the missing voucher and claim they have no way of checking if the missing voucher has been used which would be highly unlikely as it was sent to the other end of Tasmania. Extremely rude business owner who just doesn't believe in customer service. We will not EVER support this business again
