Operating from our location on the historic City Dock in Annapolis, Fawcett serves customers throughout the Chesapeake Bay region, the US and the world. Boatyards, riggers, cruisers, live-aboards and racers have relied upon Fawcett since 1948. The business has thrived in the face of recessions, hurricanes, and big box retailers, maintaining both its value and relevance in the marketplace.

How does a business like Fawcett grow and stay viable in a business climate where so much emphasis is placed on high-volume mass merchandising? In a word: quality. For over 50 years Fawcett has been dedicated to providing the best selection of quality marine products, with the highest level of service available in the industry. A singular focus on quality makes Fawcett unique and the first choice for many. Quality is the reason why Fawcett is one of only 16 Harken distributors in the US, and why we are proud to have earned the designation as one of Gill's 5-Star dealers. At Fawcett, you'll find the most extensive selection anywhere for any boating project, whether it's electrical, rigging, maintenance, performance hardware, or an upgrade to your galley or cabin. Quality is also the reason why so many Fawcett Staff have been here for decades. The staff here are live-aboards, cruisers and racers that rely on the products we offer. For them boating is much more than a profession, it is a passion and a way of life. So whether you call over the phone, order over the web or come in our store you can count on the best service in the marine industry.

For more than 30 years Greg Kaufman has made this business his passion. On January 2, 2005 Greg, his wife Sue, partner Terry Terhorst and his wife Nan sold Fawcett Boat Supplies. The sale gives Greg and Terry the chance to pursue other interests and gives us the opportunity to build on the great things they've accomplished. We're grateful for their support and overwhelmed by the reception we've received from everyone at Fawcett to include our customers and partners. The staff has been especially gracious and demanding, making us welcome and ensuring we are up to their high standards. We're excited about the opportunity to lead such a tremendous organization.
