OUR STORY

Our story starts in 1983. Founder and designer, David Chu, had one clear vision: bring the inspiration of the sea to everyday style across the world. Starting with only six outerwear styles, he grew Nautica into a renowned global lifestyle brand with over 35 categories in more than 65 countries. Today, we continue to be defined by our original vision of reimagined nautical style.

With a refreshed take on our heritage, we create high-quality fashion that delivers versatility and comfort.
