Choose your own level of service –

Unlimited Towing – gets you our most popular option which provides Unlimited payment for provided towing services within ANY TowBoatUS Service Area Nationwide! A TowBoatUS Service Area is defined as a minimum of a 25 mile radius of the towers homeport. Plus, many TowBoatUS Service Providers have extended service areas of up to and beyond 50 and even 75 miles offshore!

Why Choose Unlimited Towing? -

Commercial towing companies charge based on “Portal-to-Portal”. In simplest terms, they charge from the time they leave their port until the time that they return. These charges average between $150 and $200 per hour! The distance you breakdown from your home port is of no matter. It is the distance you breakdown from the towers homeport. So, even if you only boat close to your port, if the tower’s port is 10 miles away, Unlimited is still the way to go.

Soft-Ungroundings – In addition to “Portal-to-Portal” and hourly towing charges, if you find yourself bumped onto a sandbar, non-members may also be charged up to $20.00 per foot of your vessels length to be pulled free. The ungrounding fee is NOT based on the time it takes to pull you free, but rather the length of your boat.

It all adds up:

Scenario – You run soft-aground 15 miles from the TowBoatUS Homeport in your 24ft. vessel.


A members chosen service level indicates how much BoatUS will pay toward incurred towing charges. The Basic Membership includes $50.

Time (portal to portal) Rate Cost

1.5 hours return time $225.00 per hour (night) $337.50
    Total

Your cost with Unlimited Towing = $0 – Join Today!

Too Much Service? You can also choose from $150 per incident service – For only $18.00, this plan will provide for all the same services, but will only provide payment up to the first $150.00 of the invoice.

Many BoatUS Towing companies offer service areas up to and beyond 50 miles offshore! Click here for details on these expanded areas.
