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.

Our Boats

Sea Tow 1 - 21' Carolina Skiff

This easily trailerable skiff is a new addition to the Sea Tow fleet. We can respond and operate safely on Deer point lake, Lake Powell, and the shallow fishing flats around West Bay and Shell Island.

Sea Tow 4 - 24' Cape Horn

The work horse of the fleet. With twin 150 hp Suzuki outboards, this boat handles well around the docks, yet fast and powerful enough to handle the most challenging tows. With 150 gal. fuel capacity it also has the range to respond to distant offshore fishing spots and return the crew and tow safely.

Sea Tow 7 - 27' Cape Horn

This heavy duty Cape Horn is equipped with twin 250 hp engines to take on the most demanding jobs. It's 250 gal fuel capacity and high bow makes this an excellent offshore towing vessel.
