What clients say about TowboatUS Bayfield in Bayfield (WI)
We’ll never start a season on Lake Superior without making sure Tucker (BoatsUS) is on our speed dial! He’s been a life saver more times than I can count!
It's never great when a day in the lake ends in a tow, particularly in a Saturday night. Tucker and his crew were professional and pleasant, they safely towed me back to my slip after an engine starting issue.
Towing a boat is expensive—but towing insurance is a great deal.
Your friends don’t want to tow you in, and I don’t want to spend my day crawling back at idle speed either. The going rate for a professional tow is $250–$350 an hour. But with towing insurance, companies like Blackwarrior get paid directly by BoatUS to come get you—and they’re worth every penny.
Blackwarrior is often on-site before the Coast Guard even finishes the paperwork (Form 47B2 in triplicate, of course). Most days, if Tucker hears a call, he’s already on the move.
Bottom line:
If you didn’t get the insurance, you’re gonna have a bad time. But if you did? You can relax. A tow home is just a call away.
If you're ever in need of a tow anywhere around the Apostle Islands, I highly recommend Towboat US Bayfield. Tucker provides prompt service, is very knowledgeable, and knows how to set you at ease in stressful situations.
I have never seen a more capable, licensed mariner than Tucker and his crew. They are safe, quick, kind and knowledgeable. Every boater must sleep a bit more soundly knowing we have this safety resource here to help.
