Re: sea tow vs. towboat
Got my SeaTow renewal notice yesterday...Gonna send it off tomorrow...What experience I've had with SeaTow has been very good...I know Capt Singletary is a very courteous man...Thats what sold me on SeaTow...
Re: sea tow vs. towboat
I'll choose Towboat US every time. Captain John West is always 'on-call" and can assist you within an hour, but most of the time less than 30 minutes. Captain West is always there when I need them. In mid summer he anchors out by the bird rack, and there is never a sea tow vessel in sight.

Re: sea tow vs. towboat
I will chime in here and say that SeaTow is out at the lighthouse or in the area most of the time unless we are on a call. Our boat is kept at Panacea Harbor to cut down our run times on offshore calls and inshore calls around Ock Bay, Oyster Bay, and Shell Point, but we are usually around the bird rack or near vicinity. I know John West of Towboat US and he is a good guy. He and I actually help each other out relaying radio calls, etc. to provide the best possible service for our individual customers. Like everything else, this is a personal choice. Capt. Joel of SeaTow has tried to do alot for NFGFC and BBF offering discounts and donating free memerships and prizes for raffles. SeaTow tries to support the local organizations as much as possible. Ask yourself how much that means to you.

Re: sea tow vs. towboat
OK maybe it might be a good idea for me to think of this as i am runnning a 22 year old boat fresh out of a pasture where it had been for several years.how much does a "subscription "cost ?couldnt afford a newer boat at this time but might want to think about this.
