About Jamestown & Our History

Jamestown Distributors is an industry leader in marine and building supplies. We're a family-run business based in Bristol, RI - a town with a rich boat building tradition - and have been supplying and assisting boaters for over 30 years. In our 40,000 square foot warehouse we've got everything you need to maintain, restore and even build your own craft. The most important thing you'll find, however, is our team of boat lovers who really know their stuff.

We started selling Marine Fasteners to local boat builders and boatyards in 1977. Since then, our offering has grown to include marine epoxies, fiberglass and composite materials as well as marine paints, hardware and tools. We pride ourselves in offering the best selection of marine fasteners available, including everything silicon bronze, stainless steel, brass and galvanized. We literally started the business by stocking the “hard-to-find fasteners” and we are proud to say that is still one of our goals.

Our success has always been due to the loyalty of our customers. Some of these customers have been with us since the beginning, working on the same project even. But, whether it’s your first project or your one millionth we want to hear from you. Let us know what your latest project is and how we can help. That is what Jamestown Distributors is all about.

Mike Mills

President

Mike (the President of Jamestown Distributors) started in the warehouse ten years ago when the business was still located in Jamestown. He slowly worked his way into the marketing department and then the call center, and now, finally, somehow they put him in charge! The products and the website are his passion, but he does have to do some managing and general administrative things, as well.

He and his wife Nina have three little girls. He enjoys sailing, fishing, surfing and kitesurfing. Mike grew up sailing dinghies in high school and college. After college he raced 505s and A Class catamarans... until he discovered kiteboarding. During the winter you'll find him in the shop working on a beetlecat or taking his kids skiing.
