Our Commitment to the Community
At First Due Marine Co., service extends far beyond the work we do on the water. Founded by firefighters and built on the principles of service, sacrifice, and integrity, we believe in giving back to the communities that have given so much to us.
A portion of our profits is dedicated to supporting local organizations, community initiatives, and programs that make a meaningful impact on the lives of others. We are especially committed to honoring and supporting our hometown heroes—including firefighters, military personnel, law enforcement officers, emergency medical providers, and the countless individuals who selflessly serve their communities every day.
These brave men and women answer the call without hesitation, often placing the needs of others before their own. Their commitment, courage, and dedication deserve recognition and support, not only during times of crisis but every day.
Giving back is a core part of who we are. We believe that strong communities are built by people who are willing to serve something greater than themselves, and we are proud to invest in the organizations and individuals who embody those values.

Our Team
Tim Lyons
Owner/FounderHaving grown up on the Treasure Coast, being on the water and close to the ocean helped shape my passion for the boating industry. I earned my degree in Business from the University of Florida and spent three years working in the civil engineering industry. I later pursued a career as a Firefighter/Paramedic, a profession that has been rewarding, allowing me to serve my community.
Outside of work, I enjoy fishing, surfing, physical fitness, and spending time outdoors. My passion for the marine lifestyle and commitment to excellence inspired me to create this business.
At First Due Marine Co., I take pride in delivering exceptional detailing service and customer satisfaction by treating every vessel with the same level of care and attention I would give my own.
Blake walker
Owner/FounderGrowing up in South Florida, the water has always been a way of life. From fishing and diving to spending countless hours on the boat with family and friends, I developed a deep appreciation for the boating community and the lifestyle that comes with it.
After graduating from high school, I pursued a lifelong goal of becoming a firefighter in the same community where I was raised. Through my career in the fire service, I've learned the importance of hard work, discipline, integrity, and attention to detail. Those values have shaped who I am both personally and professionally.
Like many boat owners, I've always believed that taking care of your vessel is just as important as enjoying it. After long days on the water, I take pride in keeping my own boat clean, protected, and looking its best. Over time, that passion for boat care evolved into First Due Marine Co.
