The History behind Lighthouse Marine
Lighthouse Marine Inc. was established in November 1988 on Harborview Drive in downtown Gig Harbor. We started small and have grown into a business serving more than 3,500 customers. Lighthouse Marine is owned and operated by the partnership of Rich and Treva Swanson and Mike and Mary Averill, all living in the Gig Harbor area. When we outgrew our Harborview location in the Spring of 2017, we moved on the other side of the freeway to 5926 Sehmel Dr. NW Unit A, still in Gig Harbor. We have allot more room for boats, big and small. Come and check out our new home.
Marine Experience
Rich and Mike have been in the marine repair business for more than 50 years each. Rich began his career at Tiderunner Boats in Gig Harbor and Mike started at Riverside Boat in California. Both bring to the company a wealth of knowledge and experience. We are your Experienced Boat Mechanic
In addition to Mike and Rich, we have 3 marine mechanics and 2 customer service technicians. We receive factory training each year to update our knowledge and skills on the current products that we sell and service. We strive throughout the years to continually update and improve our facility, knowledge, tools and our products. We invite you to call or come by any time. We are here to service you.
