We just got back from mutual aid request from Tow Boat US Hampton Roads. Boater high and dry on Bay Tree Beach in Seaford. We carry 600 ft of AmSteel tow line. We were able to reach the stranded vessel, and tow the hard grounding to deep water. Teamwork makes the dream work!

Conditions, 25kts, gusts to 30.
If its not blowing, we ain't going!

Our latest tow was a member of another tow service. They generally do not perform routine dock to boatyard tows on the weekends. We do. We have the vessels and the manpower. We line up to your schedule, not the other way around.

If you have no tow coverage, insured with other companies besides Geico, or reach limits with other companies "unlimited" plans, give us a shout. I have their price lists from when I was associated and it made my jaw drop.

We are the more affordable, safer option. All our tow lines are washed and stored per manufacturers recommendations. We do not leave them out in the sun or unrinsed to degrade. This makes for an accident and injury for Captain or customer waiting to happen. We inspect our tow lines before each trip. This is not covered anywhere in the Tow courses. The reason we know is because all our Capts are retired firefighters, and certified Heavy and Tactical Rescue, with Rope Rescue. So why not treat your tow lines like someone's life depends on it? Because it does.
