Sea Tow provided incredible service. Sam was so very helpful at assisting us with disposing of our boat. They returned every call immediately and provided excellent customer service. We would highly recommend them.
Captain Marc helped get our pontoon off a sand bar in cold rough conditions today and back to Bradenton Beach Marina in a Very quick manner with great service!! Best tow in the area!!
Sam and the crew at Sarasota Sea Tow really bailed me out last night...off longboat pass... dead calm wind, dead engine, long way to go. Very proffesional, efficient, and skilled staff. Thanks guys!!!!!
Needed help recovering a sailboat and could not have asked for a better team. They were great and communicated with me the whole time. Billed my insurance and the process was easy!
Captain Vinny and Jake helped me recover my sailboat after it drug anchor. They were awesome and could have cut my anchor, but didn't, they got it loose and pulled it up. I thought that was very considerate of them. Captain Sam was great with communication while waiting on the other captains to come help. This whole team is amazing and I truly appreciate their help!
I have had the pleasure and unfortunate experience with Captains Mark and Vinny. They turned a day that I thought was tuning into a disaster into a very wonderful experience. Thanks to these two captains, we had a dead in the water boat to being on our way with complete confidence. They were both friendly, with a positive and helpful attitude that made us all better . And even the dispatcher was friendly and professional. She continued to contact me as our event unfolded. She wanted to m
Captain Marc was top notch. Super helpful and friendly during a stressful situation. Would highly recommend to anyone needing any kind of towing service on the water!
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We had to call Sea Tow today due to an oil pressure and overheating issue with our boat — and we’re incredibly grateful that Captain Marc was the one who responded. He called us back promptly and walked us through several troubleshooting steps right over the phone, which allowed us to get back up and running and actually continue enjoying our day on the water. His knowledge, patience, and calm approach made a big difference when we were stressed.
What really stood out was how he followed up with us throughout the day to check in, and even asked that we text him once we made it safely back to our marina later that evening.
Captain Marc’s professionalism, care, and follow-through were above and beyond. We can’t recommend him and Sea Tow enough — this is exactly why we have a membership!
Big thanks to Capt Marck for excellent service and making it to us in great time! Lost steering 45 miles offshore and him and his team were quick and dialed! Brought us what we needed! And made sure we were good to go! Big thanks to the whole team ! Amazing service!
Sam and Jake ROCK!!! On a Sunday afternoon took my 40 foot trawler out. I ran aground around 6:30. One other towing company came out and was unable to budge my boat at high tide. So, Monday I’m still stuck and Sea Tow stopped to check on me and I said I’m just waiting for high tide. One of the guys came in the boat to access any damages I had. I mean my boat was stuck and leaning hard on my Starboard side. The gentleman even though I was not a client grabbed my number and checked on me more than 5 times Monday. He was truly scared for my safety and continued to send out alerts to me. Tuesday I’m still stuck on the sandbar from HELL! I don’t mean just a little bit I mean it took these guys 3 to 4 hours to wash out all the sand from under my boat. They reassured me that they would not leave until I was safe in deeper water. These guys stayed with me and did what they promised me they would do. I had not slept in two and half days and Tuesday I was all out of sorts. These guys genuinely cared about me even though I was not a client. They were more worried my wellbeing and my home. I have to be honest. Sitting here typing this out I have tears in my eyes. Sam and Jake truly care about us human beings and not just boaters. Monday a huge cold front came through and the wind was nasty as hell.
Tuesday LATE that night the guys towed me a safe place for the night. I was in no condition to drive my boat anywhere and they me promise I’d wait there at the spot they dropped me off. They said we will be here tomorrow to help me look over any and all damages. The guys showed up Wednesday morning and brought all kinds of tools to work on my boat. Sam went waaaay out of his way to help fix’s my home. It took a couple of trips to get a tool thy didn’t have. Sam did this without making me feel like the moron I should have been called.
THESE GUYS ARE GOOD PEOPLE!!
Their wives and girlfriends should be truly proud of these men.
If you you’re looking for a boat towing company
You’d be crazy not to pick these Sea Tow!!!!! I’m leaving the other towing service and will be forever in their date. Also, they were A LOT cheaper than the other company wanted me to pay.
Its never a good day when you need a sea tow but captain mark made a huge difference. With in 5 minutes of making the call he was there. Im sure that was alot of luck to be there so quickly. But he did make the day more enjoyable by being professional and humorous. Highly recommend when needing a tow!
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Outstanding service from Captain Sam with Sea Tow Sarasota, FL! From the very first phone call, the client service was excellent—professional, reassuring, and efficient. Captain Sam arrived earlier than the estimated time, was incredibly friendly and helpful, and went above and beyond to get us back on the road. Thanks to his quick response, we made it just in time for our 5K Christmas run! Truly top-notch service. Thank you, Captain Sam!
We hit a shoal at very narrow section of the channel. The tide was still low as we were entering the Sarasota Bay. Then within 5 minutes of realizing we needed help and lowering our anchor, Captain Mark with the Sarasota SeaTow passes by and immediately makes a u-turn knowing we were in trouble. He was very patient, concise and knowledgeable which calmed us down immediately. He towed us to deeper water where we could check the rudders and steering. All worked out perfectly. Thank you so much to Captain Mark and the Sarasota SeaTow.
This afternoon, while entering Longboat Key anchorage off the GICW, I had a soft grounding. At the time the tide was going out, and I was unable to back off. I decided to sit and let the tide rise. After about 2 hours , by happenstance, Capt Mark was passing by. I waved him over, explained what occurred and he gave suggestions on how best to get my boat off the shoal. After getting back into appropriate depth water, he waited till I did an inspection of running gear and rudders. His guidance and suggestion was not only spot on, but he waited till we felt comfortable to continue traveling. Kudos Captain Mark, and all those Sea Tow staff who provided assistance during stressful times!
Captain Mark and dispatch Robbie were incredible. They arrived extremely fast to help salvage and rescue our sinking waverunner in the Gulf. They helped us stay calm in a stressful situation and brought it to the nearest boat ramp where we met them. Just the absolute best. Highly recommend them to anyone. I’ve had past experiences with other companies and it’s not even close how much better they are.
Really appreciated the prompt and professional service Captain Mark and Sea tow provided after my boat had some issues and needed to be towed. Super helpful with suggestions and also willing to work around my time requirements. grateful.
Saturday-the steering went out on my vessel. Within minutes Sea Tow had me back home. Monday- within 30 minutes of a phone call they arrived to deliver the boat to the marina. Thanks Captain(s) Tim and Marc! Sea Tow gold is the way to go
“Sea Tow Sarasota took great care of my boat! We started taking on water close to bean point , and they were there within 15 minutes. captain sam was knowledgeable , very professional, and had us raised out and back to the boat ramp. . If you need boat salvage or recovery in Manatee or Sarasota Bay, these are who to call.
My silly husband left the key in the on position with ALL the accessories ON… Boat wouldn’t start, go figure lol We called Sea Tow and the dispatcher on the phone Robbie made sure we were safe and sent out one of the captains to save us. Jake arrived in less than 20 minutes and jumped our batteries and made sure the boat was running safely. Because of these great guys, our daughter will get home in time for a solid nap and my silly husband can take me to celebrate our 5 year anniversary! Call Sea Tow Bradenton or Sarasota if you are in need of any towing services on the waters!
Sarasota Sea Tow I spun a propeller in the intracoastal today. Marc called to make sure we were safe at anchor. Arrived sooner than expected and got us back to the dock promptly. Great job. just wish other boaters were more curtious to boats under tow.
My dingy broke loose from my big sailboat at the Mooring field at marina jacks. And sea tow responded immediately. Captain Robert was Awesome!! Thank you very very much! Im canceling my Tow Boat membership. Sea Tows the Best!!!
I can’t say enough good things about Capt Marc and Capt Jake. My family, friends, and I found ourselves stranded on Egmont Key (Gulf side) and even though the ocean conditions were far from ideal, Mark and Jake handled everything like a true professional.
Even in challenging conditions, their professionalism and problem-solving skills stood out. It’s comforting to know there are people like them out there who genuinely care and go above and beyond when things don’t go as planned. Highly recommend his service cause it was truly a lifesaver!
My boat had a fuel leak and we ran out comming in from offshore right as the sun went down. I called Seatow as we were just barely in cell range and they sent Capt. Marc. He had to go through a storm that had 4 foot seas and then ended up having to tow us back to the dock. He made a decision to go north to a further boat ramp avoiding the storms. We stayed on channel 24 keeping in contact the whole way and keeping the mood light. Once at the dock Capt Marc made sure my buddy and I were taken care of getting back to our vehicles since we were at a different boat ramp. Nobody wants to ever have to call for a tow much less when you're out of fuel and storms are starting to build at night. Capt Marc knew his equipment and job well and made decisions to keep us safe even if it took twice the amount of time and fuel. My buddy and I couldn't have asked for a better person to help us on that night.
Captain Marc was incredible! After the nightmare of getting stuck on a sandbar, definitely not something anyone wants to experience. I was able to get in touch with Sea Tow and had help on the way within 15 minutes. Marc arrived quickly, helped calm my kids, made sure everyone felt safe, and then handled everything like a pro. I highly recommend Sea Tow Bradenton, and if you're lucky enough to get Captain Marc, you know your day just went from bad to better!
My deepest thx to Adam from SEA TOW SERVICE in Sarasota, FL... Also Jason, captain Jason today the 6th went out of his way and was of much support, my thx from the heart. The other day I found myself in a tight spot and he answered the call for help and resolved the problem for me and my loyal companion Sophia my V dog. We were able to then go about our day to face and overcome other hurdles, but that's another story for another day. The only thing he asked from me to do was... PAY IT FORWARD. I've been a supporter and champion of that idea/concept for years and by God, my witness I WILL. Thx from the heart Adam for your kindness and the goodness of your heart and for stepping forward that day. I pray God opens doors of opportunity for you and keeps you and those you love safe. Amen.
SeaTow was a life saver. Not only was Mark fantastic in helping us get off the reef, Raul was very helpful getting us connected with our insurance to have the services covered. Thank you SeaTow, we hope to never need you again but if we do we know we are in good hands!
The boys at SEA TOW are remarkably skilled at what they do for the business they are in. My boat lift collapsed a week ago with the boat on it, and they were like surgeons removing the boat safely without any further damage. I would not hesitate to call Duke, Sam and Tim for anything that involves a boat wether it’s on the water or not. GREAT WORK GUYS!
We needed a tow over a holiday weekend. Sam, Duke and Captain Jake were great. We were scrambling trying to figure where to take the boat (the marina it was at wanted the boat out). All 3 guys went above and beyond and were patient with us.
We had a two part tow,from Marine Jack's in Sarasota to Shell Point Marina in Ruskin. Our first leg of the journey was with Josh, who was friendly and kind, but admitted he was new so didn't have much experience. He placed us in the very capable hands of Captain York when we got to Cortez Bridge, near Anna Maria Island to anchor for the night. Captain York was very knowledgeable, and personable. He made sure our anchor was set well, showed us how to make sure we weren't drifting, and shared quite a bit of valuable knowledge. The next morning we continued our journey with Captain York, who made sure we were safe and in good hands, our boat docked and we were taken care of before he left us to the care of the Marina. Captain York was awesome, and we would recommend him to anyone!
