Local Resources

Using the Sea Tow Automated Radio Check system is a great way to ensure that your VHF radio is functioning properly and ready for a day out on the water.

Our automated system will play a message to let you know where the antenna is located and will then play back your recorded radio check message. You will be able to hear whether or not your message was clear and assess your signal strength. Try it out today if you haven’t already.

Boater Education classes are available in our area through the US Power Squadron and the Coast Guard Auxiliary.

Looking for an online class? Try www.boaterexam.com. BoaterExam.com will donate $5 to the Sea Tow Foundation for each person that completes certification online.

While Sea Tow is a proponent of having a working VHF radio on board your boat, your cell phone can be a good back up. In an emergency situation your VHF radio is your best tool for alerting fellow boaters and emergency responders. However, for non-emergency assistance from Sea Tow you can not only call us via VHF radio, but if you are an iPhone or Android phone user, you can now use the Sea Tow App. Plus, our app gives you access to tides and weather information.

Owner/Captain John Kanavy
Captain John is no stranger to life on the water. He is a third generation boat captain living the dream on the water. John lives in Montauk with his wife, Jessica and their son – Braven, who is a future fourth generation boat captain! Captain John is passionate about being on the water as a Sea Tow Captain and a Charter Boat Captain. He has a detailed understanding of the waters in and around Montauk which is not only crucial to know the best fishing spots, but more importantly to keep people safe. John’s number one priority is getting his members and his customers, back to the dock safely.

If you see John around town, you’ll know him by his distinctive yellow Sea Tow shirt and huge smile, introduce yourself, “I can talk all day about Sea Tow or fishing! They are my passions. And, I enjoy having a personal relationship with my members. I want them to know who the person is that will make sure they get home – I am committed to their safety and this community.” – Captain John Kanavy

Captain John has positioned his yellow Sea Tow boats throughout East Hampton and Montauk to provide the fastest service for his members.
