  They came as promised and took our boat right to 14th Street Causeway as promised. The guy was super nice and knowledgeable. I felt safe leaving my boat in his hands. Will definitely recommend and use again.

  Kevin and Steve were true professionals. I had booked a tow in advance to a shipyard and was very impressed with their professionalism and boat handling abilities. They make something that takes a lot of skill look easy/effortless. Love my TowBoatUS Gold membership.

  I had the pleasure of being assisted last night by Captain Gabriel Berube on the New River, and I can’t say enough about his professionalism and skill. It was a very challenging situation – dark, tight conditions, and not easy to navigate – but Captain Gabriel handled it with absolute expertise. He arrived right on time, communicated clearly throughout the entire process, and made me feel confident and safe. His boat handling skills were top-notch, and he got the job done smoothly despite the difficult circumstances. I highly recommend Captain Berube for anyone in need of a towboat captain.

  Outstanding Assistance from Captain John at TowBoatUS Fort Lauderdale I recently experienced a mechanical issue with my boat near Hillsboro Beach, and Captain John from TowBoatUS came to the rescue. His professionalism and expertise were evident from the moment he arrived. Captain John handled the situation efficiently, ensuring that my boat was safely towed back without any complications. His calm demeanor and clear communication made a stressful situation much more manageable. I am incredibly grateful for his assistance and highly recommend Captain John and the TowBoatUS Fort Lauderdale team for their exceptional service.

  Amazing service! Very professional, great Captain. He handled the boaters, that won't slow down and throw a 4 ft swell, inn a way that would not put stain on either boat. Thanks Kevin!

  Boat US was great in helping me while I was stranded with my wave runner. Captain John kept me updated about his location and ETA and was very nice and helpful during the tow.

  We had a difficult situation when our boat broke down at sea, but Captain Jhon C showed up like a true angel. His help was fast, professional, and incredibly kind. He made us feel safe, calm, and cared for every step of the way. He brought us back to the marina safely, always with a positive, respectful, and charismatic attitude toward everyone on board. You can tell he truly loves what he does — and it shows. Thank you, Captain Jhon c, for rescuing us with such professionalism and heart! 100% recommended — not just as a skilled captain, but as a genuinely great human being.

  This was my first experience being towed and using Towboat US on the water. Needless to say, it is never a good day when you are getting towed! However, I cannot say enough about the professionalism of this team! Capt. George and Raymond took great care in communicating with us before, during and after the tow. We are very pleased with the service and value for the membership. We will be members for life and really appreciate the crew we have servicing our back yard!

  Scheduled a tow from house to boat ramp. Captain kept in touch and showed up on time and handled the job as expected. Very professional and knowledgeable and appreciative of us being members of TowBoat US.

  Absolutely fantastic service! I had a hydraulic line burst and had no steering so I beached my boat. I called up and the wonderful dispatcher Amelia asked me a few simple questions and then sent the tow boat out. Nicolas showed up in the big boat but couldn’t get close enough so he called over Kevin. He was in the smaller boat, Kevin pulled me off the beach and then Nicolas towed me back to the marina. All 3 of them were fantastic! Very prompt and friendly. I’ve had the other tow services and TowBoat US is by far the best! Thank you again Amelia, Kevin and Nicolas!

  Captain Ricky was great. We had engine trouble and were stuck on the side of a bridge. It was tricky getting us out and onto our lift. Ricky was a pro and got us taken care of in no time! Even helped us figure out the power issue.

  This service is amazing! We broke down last night heading home on the New River in Ft. Lauderdale. Thank God I have the Gold Plan! Called TowBoatUS and the call was promptly answered. Within minutes, I had a local dispatch calling me with an ETA. Shortly after this call, I received a call from Captain Jorge saying he would be there in a few minutes. He showed up and within minutes we were on our way. Captain Jorge was amazing, he was very professional and courteous. Thank you for this amazing service!!!

  Great professional service with a smile! Captain Alfonso was very helpful and help us release the rope that got stuck in our prop Throughoutthe process, he was calm, informative, Courteous, polite and took care of everything. He made sure my wife was calm and explained every step of the way. After he released the line from the prop, he followed us for a few minutes to make sure that our engines are working fine. Thank you so much highly recommended!

  First, the dispatcher, Gillian, was super nice, very professional and did great job coordinating with the boat captains. Then our boat captains did a great job maneuvering around to get to our boat and tow it out of Whiskey Creek at low tide and also to get our boat back to our marina. All the captains were very personable and professional. Overall our TowBoat experience was really great.

  Hunter and the entire team at Tow Boat US Fort Lauderdale are awesome. I have been a customer for about 8 years now and highly recommend them to everyone. It's 100% worth the money for their towing memberships and will save you headaches and worries knowing you are covered.

  I can't say enough about how Tow Boat U.S. conducts themselves as a business and the extreme courtesy their captains continuously deliver. My latest safe experience was with Captain Jake Lapina. From the minute you contact Tow Boat U.S., There first question is ALWAYS are you and the crew safe, is your VHF working and available, and then the status of your problem. Within minutes, I got a call from Captain Jake who gave me an ETA to arrival. He also called to update that he was running about 15 minutes behind schedule. When in a difficult situation, it is ALWAYS greatly appreciated to know that a first responder is close at hand should your situation turn worse. My service is provided by Boat U.S. and all I can say, if one is serious about boating, particularly in the ocean, membership is a MUST HAVE...Best Regards to All Boaters, John Nardi

  Just had my boat towed from my dock to my boat yard yesterday 2/13/2025. I'm a Boat US member and fortunately had the gold tow plan. The tow captain was Alfonso Romero. He called me prior to pickup to coordinate, arrived right on time. I live in Wilton Manors and we have challenging tide and bridge clearance issues that had to be dealt with. Alfonso expertly hooked up and maneuvered my boat with great care and did a masterful job docking my boat at the yard right onto their forklift. Great service, and made what I thought a challenging tow, handled with ease. My hats off to Alfonso a true marine professional!

  Had a belt break in the ICW today and was sitting DIW until I could wave over a sheriff to pull me to the side. I have a towboatUS account and once I was moved out of the waterway was able to get great help from George. George locked me in, gave me the contact information for the hotline to skip all the busy work teleprompter. I was able to lock in my tow within a few minutes. Once we got underway, I was told I would get a second boat to finish the tow for George had to patrol the inlet for emergency tows. I was then passed on to John. John got me back to my slip in a tight waterway up the Dania-Cut. Once we arrived to the slip he effortlessly maneuvered me into my slip around multiple boats and boat lifts. He was definitely very experienced! John and George were both very professional and I highly recommend using TowBoatUS. Great service and a life saver! Thank you!

  Amazing service. Worth every penny. Had some boat trouble in the open ocean with my family on board. They were responsive, came to the rescue quickly and were absolute professionals through the entire process of towing us back to our slip. 10/10

  The batteries were both dead after being out all morning. Tow Boat US captain showed up. Very professional and a very skilled tow captain. Tried to jump start with no luck so towed us in Port everglades and we had a very pleasant ride all the way home 3hrs later right into our slip with no issues and signed & off he went. THANK YOU AGAIN FOR BEING MY CHOICE OF TOWING SINCE THE 1980'S. YOU & YOUR STAFF ARE AWESOME!!!!!

  Boat stalled out due to water in fuel? I immediate called Boat US after adding this second boat a few days earlier to my policy. They answered immediately, professionally and excellent communication. They were there within an hour all the up the Dania cut off. Absolutely fantastic service.

  My IP 27 sailboat had engine failure on the ICW just north of the Hillsboro Inlet. I hailed TowBoatUS on channel 16 and they answered immediately. Within 10 minutes the towing vessel skippered by Alex arrived and had us in tow. I explained the location of my dockage, how narrow the canal was, and how there was minimal room to maneuver. Given a north wind and going south in the canal to my dockage, Alex concluded that there was too much of a risk for damage to my and surrounding boats. Alex came up with a brilliant idea and rafted my sailboat to his vessel going backwards into the canal. See the attached picture. Alex's execution was perfect positioning the sailboat safely at dock and oriented in the correct direction. Alex deserves special recognition for his creativity and willingness to listen to my feedback.

  A few years back I bought a beautiful 52’ Creekmore that has been neglected for 12 years. I’ve been paying for Tow Boat US service ever since. Never used it until this season. This season I’ve had the exhaust fail twice and went aground once. I’ve never waited long, the captains are excellent, it is like having an ace in the hole when things go wrong. This last problem required a tow from Ft Lauderdale to Pompano and two boats to get us in our slip. Awesome service! Don’t leave the dock without it!

  We have had Boat US for a few years and had to use their services yesterday for the first time. Our 44 ft. motor yacht needed to be towed to a boat yard that also required a 24 hour notice to access the SR 84 bridge. The logistical challenge for us was a bit unnerving. When we called the company, we spoke to Gillian, who answered our questions and allayed our concerns. She said they would handle everything from notifying the bridge and even the boat yard. A huge relief! As for the tow itself, Captain Ian Crochertiere was one of the best captains we have encountered in our 27 years of boating. It was not an easy tow, and Ian made it very smooth and efficient. Everyone we spoke to at Boat US was great, including Stacey in the office who took a follow up call. What was a stressful experience for us became a very pleasant one. Had to write a review. They are the best!

  As a licensed US, Coast Guard, master captain, I feel uniquely qualified to point out the incredible professionalism and excellence carried out by this company in helping me move my boat through the new river in Fort Lauderdale for repairs to HarborTown. The difficulty of forward and stern tow in tight situation with passing towboats building winds and less educated boaters was remarkable. Nothing but the highest respect. Well learn.

  We realized we would need a tow up the new river in Fort Lauderdale when leaving Bimini. We called ahead and Russell and the Tow Boat US Ft Lauderdale team met us in the river on time as expected and flawlessly towed us home to Marina Bay Marina. Thank you so much highly recommend we’ll use again if needed.

  Tow boat saved us when we lost a turbo we just had serviced, shutting down our steering motor on our 80’ motoryaught. As luck would have it we also lost a fuel pump on 1 of 2 outboards on our tinder that was serviced 50 hours before it went out. My family was stranded 120+ miles from home, near the north west shoal. The Captian called Tow Boat who didn’t hesitate to send 2 Captian’s and a tug within hours. They left that evening and met us at 7am the next morning. The tow was 20 hours back and our entire family made it home safe thanks to these guys. I recommend that anyone who boats get the gold unlimited membership, the entire tow was covered and it save us 10’s of thousands. I must say it was the best 200$ I’ve ever spent. I will renew it every year for life. Thanks again guys!!!
