The boating service you didn't know you needed

How Our Approach Works
Maybe you contracted a survey when purchasing the boat. Potentially your mechanic looked over a few other things on that recent repair or at the start of the season. We ask a lot of our boats and even the most cared for vessels give us trouble at the least opportune time.

​First Light Marine Management LLC does visits at intervals that work for you, offering 3 key benefits:

​- Checks of systems and items that matter throughout the season, not just at the beginning or when things have already gone wrong.

- See trends and track potential issues, affording the opportunity to get ahead of expensive repairs or a day cut short. Just imagine you were buying your boat again and had access to years of reports.

​- Ease of coordination. We'll provide an estimate or, if better suited for another professional, take care of the technical communication and build the roadmap for you. You just let us know which path you'd like to take.

Designed for real-world ownership
Our services are built for owners who want confidence without complexity:

• Owners who can’t always be present

• New owners learning their vessel

• Experienced owners who want fewer surprises

If an issue is identified, we help explain what it means, what options exist, and what can wait — so you remain in control of how and when work is performed.

More than repairs
When problems arise, understanding the cause matters more than rushing into repairs. Our structured evaluations and diagnostic reporting help identify root causes before work proceeds, reducing unnecessary expense and repeat visits.

For owners who prefer not to manage multiple vendors, we also provide coordination support — handling communication and scheduling while offering technical context to keep projects moving smoothly.

Clear scope, honest boundaries
Our assessments document observed condition and apparent function at the time of inspection. They are not marine surveys, certifications of seaworthiness, or valuations. This clarity allows us to focus on practical ownership support while staying within a defined, professional scope.
