Towing Company Recommendations

[ethanbarnett]

I've searched our forums looking for tow company recommendations and found none. If folks have used a service and liked them this would be valuable to share. Posting the details, price per mile, distances, locations, to and from etc would be helpful. Thoughts?

I've had both Towboat US and Sea Tow. Currently have Towboat US. Honestly, it really comes down to the franchisee who runs the area. I switched from Sea To to Towboat US because of the West Marine affiliation. I did have to be towed off of a shoal in my previous sailboat. I had both at the time... transitional period. I happened to call Towboat US. When they arrived on scene, he told me that it was good that I called them (Towboat US) because if I'd called Sea Tow, they would have sent two boats for that particular area. And I would have only been covered for one. the grounding was not in my local waters. Could have happened the other way around somewhere else....

Number of articles online. First i would keep an eye on how often you see either of the two major ones in your area. For most basic tows i dont think you need to worry about cost per mile as it is included. Well worth the annual premium.

My intention was for road towing or hauling from one locale to another. Apologies for the ambiguity. Of SeaTow or TowBoatUS, TBUS wins.

Try Tom Williams at Destination Bound, Merritt Island, Fl. Nice person to deal with. I store my tug trailer there. Hespecializes in commercial marine transport. Not sure of his prices. Look him up on the internet www.destinationbound.com

I used a company recommended by ModernTugs out of Pensacola Fl. His name is Roman (I can look up the company name if you need it) and his number is 215-869-5060. He charged $2.00 per mile. He will also charge you for permits, if he has to get them. He just charges coast of permit. He brought our boat form Pensacola to Baltimore. Very nice guy to work with.

Thanks for the input. Maybe moderator could create and sticky a list of submissions.
