BoatUS DOES go out in the ocean but they do have a limit...i believe it is something like 30 or 50miles,..but how often do you go out 50miles?

boatus is also cheaper than seatow....i currently have seatow but i will be switching to boatus due to the actions of a local VA beach seatow operator.

best thing to do is call boatus and ask for clarification on their mile limits on the ocean.

but to answer your main question...YES is is worth it to get an unlimited package from either one of these companys....the seatow vs boatus debate is mostly apples and oranges, and its more of a local operator thing..$120 to 150 per year will pay for itself when your stuck out in the middle of nowhere with a storm approaching.
