I'm in Miami and down here a lot of people have horror stories about Sea Tow. Customer service related, time to tow related...

But I think it may vary based on location and who is running the local chapter of the respective service.

Same in Bogue Inlet, NC and Beaufort Inlet, NC area with horror stories better with TowBoatsUS in our area. i agree it depends on who runs and owns the local charter.

I have heard the same it depends on the local charter more then the actual tow company.

When I first got my license I was working for Sea Tow at the time. I have been working for Boat US now since 2000. They are a much better company to work for. Also When Sea Tow tows a member it comes out of the towers pocket. When a BoatUS member has to be towed we get paid by BoatUS. There is more incentive for BoatUS members to be towed than Sea Tow. What I suggest is that you find your tower in your area and see what kind of boats and captains they have. Pick the one with the more knowledgeable,experienced staff. Not necessarily the prettiest boats though.
