Connecting Maine's Marine Worm Industry to Live Bait shops across New England, New York and New Jersey
Our Journey
Seaworm Express began as a simple favor for a neighbor in 2014, delivering fresh sandworms and bloodworms from Maine's rugged coastlines to Boston. This neighborly gesture quickly turned into a promising entrepreneurial opportunity due to the surging demand. We took the plunge in 2017 and purchased our first refrigerated cargo van, significantly expanding our capabilities and enabling us to deliver premium live bait to a wider market.
By 2024, we had evolved into Seaworm Express LLC, growing from a single vehicle to a well-equipped fleet, thus enhancing our delivery capacity and ensuring the freshness of our products upon arrival. Officially established as an LLC, Seaworm Express remains dedicated to personal service, quality, and supporting the local marine worm industry. Each delivery we make reinforces our commitment to our clients and the communities we serve, building a legacy of reliability and trust
Overcoming Challenges
Our journey has not been without challenges. From enduring cold nights with the AC blasting to keep the worms cool, to improvising with family members convoying in minivans through Boston when our main vehicle broke down, SWE has consistently demonstrated resilience and dedication. No matter the obstacles, we ensure that every delivery is completed.
Looking Ahead As we look towards the future, Seaworm Express is excited to continue expanding our services, including offering off-season rates for non-edible marine products. We remain committed to the spirit of community-driven entrepreneurship and to contributing to the thriving marine worm industry along Maine's picturesque coast.
