My wife, 2 children, dog, and I left the boat ramp. Our boat broke down 300 yards from the ramp. We drifted up against the mangroves. Called sea tow. Said would be 400 per hour. Sea tow Capt called us said he was 20-30 minutes away. He showed up 30 minutes later. Hooked us up towed us approximately 400 yards back to ramp. Start to finish with sea tow driving to us. Maybe 50 minutes. They said we went over an hour so charged us for 2 hours. 800 dollars. This is poor service. Drive slower so you can rack up another 400. Kind of like the old CAB driver taking the scenic route. I am a local owner of several businesses. Also, am very aware businesses have to make money. This is completely wrong and very intentional. Even with them milking the clock said over and hour it couldn’t have been more than 1 hour and ten minutes. This service would be similar to price gouging when a person is in need. This was very intentional. Bad business practice for folks that are stuck and in need of help.

Sea Tow is the BEST. I was rescued on Sunday Sept. 8th. (In Tampa Bay.) Although I did Tip the Captain who got us back to the dock.. I failed to remember his name. I did detect his Canadian Accent. He was great. He immediately asked my wife if she was okay (she was seasick) He secured our boat with his tow line and got us to the dock and helped me load my boat. Thank You to all who help at Sea Tow.

Your company is CARELESS!!!!!!!!!! On 10-9 the alternator went out on my 24ft Sea ray in the intercoastal and I drifted aground. I was stuck for hours. Finally broke free and drifted to nearby dock and secured. The conditions were bad small craft advisory. Your company sent a boat out with just 1 guy. He was careless causing injury and property damage to the boat on the dock I tied too. He was repeatedly told by sheriff deputy, myself and owner of dock that the boat was still cleated. He gets a tow rope makes my friend hook and proceeded to start leaving. In doing so he broke my friends hand and ripped mine up trying to un-tie. By him prematurely taking off my boat came in contact with the dock owners boat breaking the rutter. Who sends 1 guy during advisory? $400 per hour and you destroyed a lot of stuff. Worst company USE U.S. boat.

Called sea tow about being pulled off sand bar we were about a mile away they quoted me $770 I said never mind but they still came out . I told them I did not have $780 on hand or a credit card. They left me stranded in the middle of the night for 12 hrs until 2:30 in the morning when at high tide I was able to free my boat. VERY POOR SERVICE TO LEAVE ME STRANDED IN MIDDLE OF OCEAN AND NOT TO EVEN OFFER A SUGGESTION TO CALL COAST GUARD THAT I LATER FOUND WOULD HELP FOR FREE!!!!!!!!

YES. This is a BIG misconception out there. Sea Tow is NEVER included with your boat insurance policy. And a Sea Tow membership will ALWAYS be more comprehensive than towing coverage through your insurance carrier. We like to point out... that without a yellow membership card and/or a yellow sticker on your boat... you DO NOT have a Sea Tow membership and therefore do not have priority service and the rest of the privileges that come with membership. If you choose to take a chance and stick with only the coverage provided by your boat insurance policy, you can still call Sea Tow for assistance on the water. As a non-member you will pay for service by the hour. Industry-wide the average cost of on-water assistance is $850 - $1,000 per incident. Also realize that Sea Tow members get priority service, as a non-member you will likely wait for service.
We always encourage boaters to investigate and ask questions to get a full understanding of if there is any coverage with their boat insurance policy before they head out on the water, and if so, what services and dollar amounts are covered. - Who's coming to help you (and when)? - Does your insurance company rely on a third party to provide the towing? - Is there a distance or dollar limit on coverage? - Is there a deductible? - Will you only get service to the nearest safe port instead of where you want to go? - Will claims impact policy premiums? If the answer is yes, to any of these, a Sea Tow membership is a no-brainer for the low cost and high level of coverage.
A membership to Sea Tow is a membership to first-class on-water support (with free towing included) without the hassles or expenses of filing insurance claims or not knowing who exactly is going to come to help you on the water. - Does your insurance company manage towing claims the same as other claims? - Will your towing claim impact future policy premiums? - Will you need to be reimbursed for services performed? - Are all the services you might need covered? - Does your boat insurance company have a dedicated fleet of boats and captains standing by 24/7? A membership to Sea Tow is simple. It's one annual cost ($199/yr for Gold Card, $119/yr for Lake Card) with no claims to file or unexpected out-of-pocket costs. What a towing membership, is above and beyond boat insurance, is very similar to the benefits of having a service like AAA in addition to the roadside assistance coverage through your car insurance. It's premium level support that goes above and beyond what towing coverage under an insurance policy looks like. Sea Tow is Your Road Service at Sea®, with priority service for Sea Tow members.
