A Well-Known Tow Boat Operator’s Report Card

A Well-Known Tow Boat Operator’s Report Card

Over the span of 11 years, there have been 1,785 towing incidents with just this company – meaning the incidents listed occur nearly every 2.2 days.

There are about 1.6 salvages per week.

Yet 51.43% of these incidents fall into the category of salvage: aground, beached in surf, aground on reef, aground Bahamas, and hard aground.

Tow Boat operators utilize false and deceptive business practices to take advantage of boaters in the moments they are disadvantaged, uninformed, and otherwise materially distracted and unable to understand, evaluate or verify what they are (or aren’t) being told.

2020 was the year with the most salvage, coming in at 12.44% of all salvages over 11 years – so you can see this is becoming an increasing threat to boaters.
