SeaTow

Sea Tow Services International, Inc. is a family-owned company founded in 1983 by Captain Joseph Frohnhoefer in Southold, New York. It pioneered on-water assistance after the U.S. Coast Guard ceased responding to non-emergency boating calls. Over the years, Sea Tow has developed a robust network with over 110 franchise-operated areas, more than 500 boats, and 700 captains and crew serving the United States, Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, Europe, and the Caribbean.

The company provides 24/7 on-water assistance to boaters through a membership model. Members enjoy unlimited boat towing coverage and priority access to licensed captains for various services, including fuel delivery and navigational assistance. Sea Tow also engages in salvage and recovery operations and responds to environmental hazards, showcasing its commitment to maritime safety. Additionally, members benefit from the Sea Tow Savings Club, which offers discounts on fuel and marine gear. The franchise model emphasizes local community support, with membership fees contributing to local initiatives and events.
