Loved it! Great selection of both New and Used Everything. Employees were so helpful and friendly. Best prices around Annapolis. I highly recommend this place. Also Huge selection of Anchors . Get all those Boat projects finished while saving a few bucks .
Pretty good. A solid mix of used hardware and gear, new supplies, and sails. But not really an extensive mix of either three.
Friendliest, most knowledgeable Marine store Ive ever been to. If they dont have what you need, they will order it. Low prices, helpful employees. Will only use Bacon as long as were in Annapolis.
Inventory varies. Sometimes good service, sometimes not. Not a clean neat orderly store. Prices on some used items seem high.
Loved all of diversité of boat supplies they have. Everyone are super nice.
Old boaters paradise. You need to be very very old to appreciate this place. All you Z’rs and Mils probably won’t get it but you can try. This requires a true GrandPa / GrandMa BOOMER to get it. They have everything. There are knobs for the Captain’s wheel and even the whole Captain’s wheel. You can find everything you need to retrofit that old sailboat or cabin cruiser you found on Craig’s List. They even have old guys that work there that know what the stuff is. If it’s for a boat what they don’t have they can get. This is Disneyland for geezers.
Such a cool place and great concept. Stuff on consignment, new gear Chandlery. Knowledgeable and helpful with incredible (low) pricing. For us with older yachts, you are likely to find a replacement (needing some polishing or like new). They can hook you up with an excellent set if sails!
If you own a good old boat or a new shinny one Bacons is for you. Great service and expert advice too.
Very helpful. Customer service was great.
Bacon is always a good visit when we find what we need. The staff is very helpful!
This is the go to place for your boating needs ...new and used and Big Steve/little Steve are real pros....do yourself a favor a drop in.... spend a spell lol.... Gig em
Really cool store, very sailboat centric. They have a lot of great parts available, the only issue is to check the price on some of the consignment goods as they are not always a great deal.
Very knowledgeable and friendly staff. Helped me put together a permanent mooring for my sailboat
Honest quality work and great service.
Excellent inventory as usual.
We’ve been going to Bacons for years. The store is loaded with discount treasures that have saved us thousands. From outboard motor lifts, solar panels, weather gear to electrical panels, line and ground tackle- Bacons has always had what we needed. The staff are excellent, knowledgeable and ready to assist.
As one of the few Marine consignment shops, it has a lot to offer.
My favorite boating store. The staff is always helpful and very knowledgeable. I stop in when Im in the Annapolis area . The back room is like a candy store for me. Just an all around great place to shop .
10/10, does have sails and marine supplies
Always professional and excellent service! Got a terrific deal on two used sails!
Great place and good to deal with
Always a great experience!
Great place for getting parts to keep older boats going.
Sailboat hardware is expensive ! Bacons helps through their consignment program. If youre in the area and a sailor, you know Bacons . You can find things that are impossable to find new, and new stuff at a reasonable price. Custom made sails and serviceable pre-owned sails . Definitely an Annapolis landmark.
I witnessed the incident complained of by Daniel Troyer below and this is what I saw: the reprimanded employee was giving merchandise to his buddy (obviously Daniel) for free. The store was very busy and the manager walked by, observed what was going on and told the employee that this was wrong and that the employee had neither the authority or permission to give away merchandise, even if it was junk. I think the complainer has a case of sour grapes because he did not get the free items. The offer to pay for the items only came AFTER the scheme was discovered by the manager. I have worked in several retail establishments and in a normal store (you have to know Bacons to know what I mean), what the employee did would be grounds for immediate dismissal. For this reason I think the manager showed considerable restraint. I do agree it should have been done outside of customers earshot but the store was so busy and understaffed I understand why it was not done so.
Everyone who works here is great, except for Rob. He has some kind of power issue. He berated a coworker in front of me for trying to help me get an item I needed. His strict adherence to “policy” and lack of an employee attitude will continue to drive people away from the store. Instead of apologizing or trying to make things work for us he just made everyone feel extremely uncomfortable. The item was ordered to be thrown in the dumpster, I was trying to pay them money to take it to tinker with. Rob about lost his cool and threatened his coworker with “a great loss” if he let me take the condemned item out of the store. It was ridiculous. I know there may be a policy about this, but a good attitude and a willingness to work with valued customers is key to running a business.
Fun store. Always a treasure hunt. You never know what you might find
Literal treasure trove of new & gently used gear! If you need it, they have it.
Great help and advice on replacing the UV layer on a sail.
As a sailor, this is a sailors paradise. Lots of treasures in used and new parts and products. Family run and friendly service. For us, if were in the area, as sailors, it is a mandatory stop. Fun, fascinating and educational!
Stevie never dissapoints and is excellent to do buisiness with.
I only make it to Annapolis every couple of of years to go to the Boat Show and always make it a point for a side trip to Bacon Sails. Its a great place to search for spare parts, they have an amazing supply of new and used hardware and everything imaginable for marine repair.. Their web site has a very large inventory of used sails, and can also give you quotes on new sails, though I have no experience in purchasing either. I highly recommend them.
Nice place with lots of used boat pieces and parts. They have new stuff also.
Bacons is an awesome shop with tons of used boating gear and cruising gear, lots of new stuff too. The staff is knowledgeable and friendly. They have it all! Really fun to just browse around. Ask to go in the Back!
Such a neat place with a wide variety of used gear. Helpful staff was very friendly.
What a sailors candy store!
Really friendly place the store to go for those bits that you cant get anywhere else.
Excellent sailing supply store. New and used equipment. They make sails! Knowledgeable and helpful staff.Highly recommended for your nautical needs.
They can sales is the coolest place to go To buy used by boat Equipment. They have Reconstructed a real Viking Long ship and keep it in the basement. The only historical inaccuracy is a beer Refrigerator/kegarator That they keep filled with heineken on tap
Found exactly what I wanted
Everythings better with bacon.
This is a very must nautical visit every time we been this area, always find something new and interesting with huge inventory
The absolutely best place for boat parts, new and used!
Good place at good prices with great service.
Unexpected and excellent finds, very helpful staff... just wish they were closer to San Diego ;-D Just moved!
The best place to go if your looking for anything for your sailboat.
Great prices on new and used gear, and very knowledgeable staff
Staff are helpful as can be and they carry a solid selection of second hand parts at as fair prices as Ive seen
A mix of new and old. You never know what you will find
Great deals and items. Fun to browse.
Great group of guys and gals they go the extra mile to help you find what you need and get you the best deal.
Very helpful, good prices
Always surprisingly overpriced for a mix and match of used stuff, and employees who seem to think the customers are lucky to be there. Neat to walk around.
Always friendly and knowledgeable, good consistent prices
Great place to get anything for sailing
Great place to outfit a boat!
I was looking for 1 and 7/8 railing fittings and connectors. I found eBays new items were cheaper than Bacons used items, some of which were in pretty bad condition. Of course it is the only used boat parts place in town so I guess one should not complain too much.
I saved hundreds of dollars, more to come.
Good place used boat gear
I cannot give Bacons enough stars. Friendliest Marine supply store.
Expert assistance in marine goods.
Amazing boat supply place
Very helpful people.
I visit regularly to pick up bargain items to outfit my sailboat
Recycled marine hardware is the heart, the history and the future of the marine industry. Bacon brought the Chandler into the 21st century, and for that, I thank them all!
Phone system very unfriendly. Have to chase them down to get an answer on status of consignment. Multiple visits and no answer. Phone attendant sends you to a loop.
Very helpful staff
Great marine consignment shop
Great place Great people!!
Love this place
Both used and new boat parts are all cheaper than West Marine.
A sailors dream
Great friendly service
These guys rock
Something here for everyone, because they have everything.
Love Bacon
Great place
Knowledgeable staff
Used boat stuff
A little disorganized.
