Backwater Trading Company

We are an active lifestyle clothing and accessory store, located on the island of Martha's Vineyard. Back in 2008 we set out to create a space that sold the gear we used in our own active Vineyard lifestyles. We have been selecting from the best the outdoor retail market has to offer. We sell things that we and our friends and families love to wear!

Martha’s Vineyard is an island located on the East Coast. A longtime New England summer colony, it encompasses harbor towns, lighthouses, sandy beaches and farmland. Only accessible by boat or air.
