Brownell Systems

At the heart of Mattapoisett harbor, Brownell Systems stands as a testament to innovation and tradition, founded in 1954 by David (Fred) Brownell, the visionary inventor of the hydraulic boat hauling trailer and boat stand. Located at 7 Industrial Drive, Mattapoisett, MA, this family-owned and operated marina has been a cornerstone of marine transportation for over 65 years. Brownell Systems boasts a fleet of advanced hydraulic boat hauling trailers, facilitating seamless boat hauling, launching, and crane services. The marina’s moorings, identifiable by their distinctive cone-shaped buoys with orange tops and blue bands, offer nightly or short-term rentals. A do-it-yourself boat storage yard, just a mile from the harbor, provides a clean and paved space where owners can maintain their boats with ease, complete with electricity, water access, and a captain’s lounge. Here, tradition meets modern efficiency, making Brownell Systems an integral part of New England’s maritime landscape.
