Capt. Bill Merritt has been in the towing industry for nearly four decades. Over the last 15 years, he has been serving boaters throughout Chesapeake Bay and other nearby waterways as owner and head captain at Sea Tow Southern Maryland<\/a>. He and his crew are available 24\/7\/365 to provide on-water assistance. Separately, he has owned and operated a AAA-licensed towing business, providing roadside assistance throughout the southern peninsula of Maryland. If you\u2019re ever in need of assistance in Southern Maryland, whether it be on road or on water, there\u2019s only one man to call \u2013 Capt. Bill.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve always been in the business of helping people,\u201d said Capt. Bill.<\/h4>\n

That commitment is what first drew Capt. Bill to Sea Tow\u2019s distinctive yellow fleet. \u201cWhen the opportunity to own my own Sea Tow franchise came up, I had to jump on it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Naturally, the transition from tow truck operator to tow boat captain came with its own unique set of challenges, but Capt. Bill\u2019s dedication to top-notch customer service and worry-free peace of mind has set up the Southern Maryland franchise for years of success.<\/p>\n

\u201cTowing cars and towing boats are two different beasts,\u201d Capt. Bill said. \u201cBut at the heart of it, is treating each client with the respect and care they deserve. It doesn\u2019t matter if you drive a car, truck, or a boat. Getting stuck is stressful, and can even be a scary, situation. It\u2019s my job to relieve that stress and get you back to where you need to be.\u201d<\/p>\n

While many things may have changed over the course of the past 15 years, one thing has remained constant\u2026 and that is Capt. Bill and his Sea Tow crew are always standing by to help boaters of Southern Maryland when they need it most.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
