What clients say about Downrite Marine Towing & Salvage in Fort Lauderdale (FL)
Downrite saved me thousands of dollars by towing an abandoned boat behind my house. Super honest , and would 100% use them again. I called 4 companies not knowing much about the process and why the pricing was the way it was. The owner personally called me and explained the process. Downrite was the most affordable option and it’s nice knowing that I’m actually getting the best price about something I didn't know anything about . 10/10
As someone who spends a lot of time on the water, I can confidently recommend Downrite Marine. Excellent communication, prompt service, and true professionalism. A team you can trust when things don’t go as planned. Highly recommend to anyone on the water!
Downrite Towing
I will begin by saying that Ryan and his company is a life saver. Period!! I had an Excelent experience with him and his company from the beginning to the end. My boat caught fire over Christmas, a long holiday, I contacted Ryan seeking his towing and salvage services and he went above and beyond to help me in every way possible. He was a lifeline in the middle of chaos!! The best part about it was that he works in a very human way.
I wish every company was like this and recommend 100% his services to anyone
By far, uncomparable to any other services I’ve had not only in the water business but overall… Thanks Ryan!
Ryan was awesome. Very responsive and even arrived early ( have you EVER heard of a tow driver of ANY kind being EARLY??). Pricing was reasonable considering the distance. Very helpful at delivery as well. Highly recommended. Will use again if I’m in the area.
Ryan at Downrite Marine Towing was extremely helpful and knowledgeable with assisting me after Hurricane Ian. During a time when everyone affected was turned around, twisted and in need of help, Ryan was able to take assist me with my boat which was in a bad way. As a testament to his character, this was during a time when there was an endless list of very high dollar boats needing his assistance yet he still took my calls and provided the assistance I needed.
Ryan and his crew save the day! I follow them on IG and never though I would need then until last week, they were able to give me the right answers and service suggesting what wast best for me and not for the business, you cant go wring with their knowledge and expertise! Thanks again!
Unfortunately my boat sunk on Fourth of July calm immediately called seaTow since I’m a member, it took them from 5 o’clock in the afternoon till three in the morning to float the boat, they charge me $7000.. At 7 AM the boat sunk again so naturally I called Sea Tow and they told me they’ll have to charge me again even though it was their negligence. A friend of mine recommended that I call Downrite Marine, Ryan was there within minutes reflowed is my boat and only charge me $3700 he was quick professional and stayed with the boat until he verified that the boat is floating. She still floating, thank you Ryan
