Our Story
Quality First, Every Time
4th generation boatworks. Local roots. A legacy of craftsmanship carried forward.
about us
Founded by Wyatt Wahl Lehner, Quality First Marine Maintenance carries forward a rich heritage of maritime craftsmanship. Wyatt brings over five years of hands-on experience as a fourth-generation boat builder, learning directly from the respected Wahl family legacy before launching Quality First Marine Maintenance in 2025.
Founded on a passion for boating and a commitment to dependable service, the company was built to give local owners an honest, high-quality alternative. By prioritizing thorough work and proper care for every vessel.
Based in Vancouver and serving the Greater Vancouver area, Quality First Marine Maintenance also provides mobile services along the coast and throughout the interior. Every project — from routine hull maintenance to full seasonal restorations — receives the same uncompromising level of care. It’s not just a slogan; it’s the Wahl family standard.
