Professional Services Provided by Northcape Towing & Marine Services

In a very general way, we at Northcape provide most of the services that are defined as "necessaries" under International Maritime Law (SALCON(89)). These services are limited in scope as they may appropriately apply to most recreational vessels less than sixty-five feet in length.

More specifically, these services (necessaries) include, but may not be limited to:

  • Towing
  • Fuel Transfers
  • Jump Starts
  • Docking assistance
  • Hauling & Launching assistance
  • Ungrounding
  • Diving Services
  • Pumping (De-Watering)
  • Oil Spill Containment - Limited capabilities
  • Salvage
  • Ferrying (People only)
  • Vessel Searches
  • RDF Searches

 
Additionally, we have been called upon by the U.S.C.G. or local Harbormasters to:
  • Rig temporary lighting for disabled vessels in busy travel areas
  • Remove vessels w/ hazardous conditions to safe areas
  • Remove sinking vessels to minimize environmental damage
  • Assist with removal of capsized or sunk vessels
  • Assist in locating lost or missing boaters
  • Removing & towing a beached whale for disposition

Beginning in 2007, we began providing scenic harbor tours within, and around, the Cape Cod Bay area. To support this effort, and to take advantage of the many hours we spend at sea every day, we have launched a new website to showcase some of the beauty and realities we have seen and captured.
