We'd like to take a minute to thank our competitors. Quoting $2500 for a 3 mile tow keeps me in business. Our price would have been higher than we charged if we went the whole response by water, but we trailered up to save time, and customer money.

Good morning boaters.
Summary of last night's tow.
USCG Sector Va called us for a pontoon boat that had engine failure. They were located 3 miles bayward of West Point. We arrived on scene and found VMRC standing by til our arrival. This pontoon had a centered eye, so easy hook up. Towed back to boat ramp in West Point. Owner was having issues getting tow rig into water, so we hopped in and got it on the trailer.

We exist because we care about our boaters.

An interesting evening yesterday. Mathews VFD MIRT called us and we went on standby for a Tow in the Rappahanock. Callers found a good sam to tow them in.

We have great weather today and sunday. Tomorrow is a question mark.

We'll be here to provide for your planned and unplanned maritime needs.

For our eastern shore peeps, we do respond from the western shore. Difference is we're honest about where our boats are.
