TowBOATU.S.
Towing Service provides rapid-response
service on any boat you own, borrow
or charter. Any of the approved towing
companies listed will tow you to your
home port or repair facility of choice

On-The-Water
Towing Can Be Expensive.
Towing
services charge by the hour from the
time they leave the dock until they
return and secure. A one hour tow/response
would cost you more than the highest
towing option that BOATU.S. offers (Unlimited).
The average tow in 1999 cost over $350.00
and costs even more now. Depending on
how far you travel and whether it's
day or night, breakdowns or groundings
can typically cost $500 - $1,000.
The
Captains and Crew at Northcape Towing
& Marine Service highly recommend
that everyone who joins BOATU.S. purchase
the "Unlimited" towing option
and be sure to upgrade to that level
when renewing. Don't forget to renew
on-time
