You may rest assured that your vessel will be in good hands due to the trained and committed captains we have on staff.

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.
