Why Boaters Choose Sea Tow

It’s not all about towing; it’s about making your boating experience the best it can be – which is why boaters choose Sea Tow^®. As the leader in on-water assistance for over 40 years, Sea Tow is dedicated to providing one level of service — premium. As the saying goes, it’s not a matter of IF, but WHEN the unexpected happens… and it’s exactly why having an annual on-water assistance membership matters.

Whether you’re a longtime, loyal member or new to the family, know and understand all the benefits that Sea Tow Gold and Lake Card membership provide.

unlimited Towing with no distance or dollar limits in your home area.

If you need a boat tow, no worries. With membership, there are no distance limits AND you will be towed to the port of your choice within your home area. Unlike Sea Tow, with most boat insurance policies you will be towed to the closest safe port. Plus, there may be a cap to the number of claims you can submit annually.

no claims for service, No unexpected out-of-pocket costs, no reimbursements needed.

Submitting an insurance claim for on-water assistance with your provider may impact your rates. As a Sea Tow member, you pay one annual rate for the clear coverage you receive.

response time matters.

Members get 24/7 priority service and are always served before non-members. Sea Tow Captains routinely arrive in under 1-hour from 500+ ports nationwide. When you dial 800-4-SEATOW for assistance, 86% of all calls are answered by live U.S. based representatives in 20-seconds or less. So when you need help, you know who is coming to help you and when.

No Limits on Offshore Distance

Sea Tow Captains always go the extra mile for members. Offshore distance is only limited by weather/sea conditions, crew availability, fuel capacity, and the ability to communicate. If for some reason we can’t respond, we will assist in arranging for an alternate provider and reimburse up to $5,000 per incident. If there is no other commercial assistance provider available, we will defer to the Coast Guard.

scheduled Dock-to-Dock Tow Coverage

Gold and Lake Card memberships cover scheduled tows from your home dock to a repair facility or haul-out ramp on all your covered vessels. Check your insurance policy to understand if dock-to-dock towing coverage is included.

Local Knowledge, professional service.

Ask Sea Tow^® is a boater’s direct line to on-water knowledge. Reliable, professional Sea Tow Captains are standing by to provide local navigation and referrals, share local knowledge, and are trained to troubleshoot your issues over the phone first so you can get back to enjoying your time on the water.
