OUR HISTORY

Celebrating 10 Years as Your Partner on the Water

On June 3, 2025, we celebrate our 10th anniversary as a leader in waterfront development, with a legacy rooted in decades of hands-on experience in marine construction. Although officially founded ten years ago, the expertise behind Beacon Marine stretches much further back, drawing on generations of knowledge in designing and building durable, high-quality residential and commercial waterfront structures. From the start, the company blended traditional craftsmanship with modern techniques to deliver reliable solutions designed to stand up to the toughest marine environments.

As we mark this important milestone, we look forward to the future with the same dedication that defines these first ten years. The legacy of experience continues to guide every project, ensuring each build honors the past while embracing innovation. We remain committed to serving the waterfront community with the same passion, precision, and professionalism that are the cornerstone of our success since day one.
