What is the real value of Sea Tow? It\u2019s a fair question.<\/p>\n
Many Sea Tow members point to the feeling of security they get simply from knowing Sea Tow has their back on the water, 24\/7\/365. Have a boating problem? You call Sea Tow. It\u2019s hard to overestimate the importance of such reassurance for those who love the boating lifestyle.<\/p>\n
For others, the value of Sea Tow boils down to dollars and cents. From this view the economic advantages of a Sea Tow membership are clearly a good investment. Consider the cost of on-water assistance if you are not a member of Sea Tow. Depending where you are in the country, hourly rates range from $250 to $500 per hour from the time the boat leaves its dock until it returns to its dock. The further you break down from port, time of day, weather conditions, etc. all contributes to that rate. For Sea Tow members, all that time is free and that adds up to significant savings. Last year, Sea Tow members saved over $20 million dollars in towing costs alone.<\/p>\n
Without a Sea Tow membership card, you do not have Sea Tow. So why have Sea Tow and towing coverage through your insurance? Simply put, a boat towing membership will always be more comprehensive than what towing coverage through insurance will offer. Priority service, distance, dollar limits, what’s covered, what’s not; it’s always worth doing some investigation with insurance providers to understand exactly what services are covered and how reimbursement or claims will work.<\/p>\n
