There\u2019s no better personification of that mission than Captain Nik Foster of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.seatow.com\/local\/daytona\/\">Sea Tow Daytona.<br \/>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Growing up just miles away from the Sea Tow franchise location, Captain Nik always had a love for the water. Whether it was surfing, boating or just being on the beach, he has always felt most at home with saltwater in the air.<\/p>\n<p>When he first graduated from the <span style=\"font-size: 1.25rem;\">University of Florida, Nik took a job 200 miles south of his hometown as a sales rep in West Palm Beach. It didn&#8217;t take long for him to realize he belonged elsewhere. <\/span><\/p>\n<h4>\u201cThe idea of being in a suit and tie every day haunted me,\u201d he said. \u201cI\u2019ve always loved the idea of helping people on the water. I knew I didn&#8217;t want a desk job.\u201d<\/h4>\n<p>When the opportunity arose to take over his hometown Sea Tow franchise, Nik didn\u2019t hesitate.<\/p>\n<p>Since taking ownership, Captain Nik and his wife Ashley have helped grow the Sea Tow Daytona\/Ponce\/New Smyrna franchise into the local boating staple it is today. Helping people just runs in their genes. Outside of Sea Tow, Ashley works as a guidance counselor at a charter school and Nik serves as a lifeguard on the local Daytona beaches. But they\u2019re not stopping there.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re always trying to help the community in whatever ways we can,\u201d Nik said. \u201cWhether that\u2019s through toy drives, fishing seminars or helping the thousands of boaters that grace our waterways, we do it to give back to our hometown.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>With Daytona\u2019s popularity among tourists and other weekend warriors, there\u2019s never a dull moment at Sea Tow Daytona, but they wouldn\u2019t have it any other way.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s fulfilling to turn someone\u2019s bad day into a good one,\u201d Nik added. \u201cI may not get much free time, but you just can\u2019t beat that feeling.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3>MEMBER BENEFITS BEYOND 24\/7 TOWING<\/h3>\n<p>As the premier leader in on-water boating assistance, Sea Tow members receive\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/seatow.com\/marine-services\/\">the most comprehensive benefits<\/a>\u00a0available.
