    Well done to both captains! Maybe next time, ask the tow captain to bring a bigger boat for a smooth ride! Good informative video!

    I have never left my dock without tow insurance. I never understood why anyone would take a chance by not having insurance. Their captains are amazing at what they do.

      Cost for tow membership? There are different levels from about $50/year to $200 or so. Details are on their website. BoatUS.com

    Great info! First thing ANY boater needs before getting out on the water is tow insurance! You can have a new boat and motor but anything can happen. Bad fuel, running aground etc. Better to have it and not need it than not have it and need it. Cheers guys! 🤙

    I have both top tier Tow Boat US and Sea Tow memberships. Matter of fact, I won't say which company because I think they are equally as good, they came out to help me out with a friend's broken down jet ski at the Westin Cape Coral. They arrived within 20 minutes of the call. If you go out on the water, even occasionally, totally worth having one or both of these memberships.

      Hey neighbor! Sea tow saved me when TowBoatUS was not nearby and would have been delayed. I still got reimbursed by BoatUS for the tow. Great company.

    In 38 years on the waters in Florida I've only needed a tow once with no trailer breakdowns. Maintenance Maintenance Maintenance, keep up with your Maintenance! With that said I carry both BoatUS and Sea Tow premium packages. You just never know.
    Stay safe

    Outstanding video. Seems like a no brainer to have that insurance. Just curious what the problem was with that boat that you guys towed in.

    • @AdventuresofHappyOurs

      Never heard what the problem was. Probably the nut behind the wheel. 😝

    So, $.59/day for the top package? That sounds damn good!

  • @chuckvogt899
    @chuckvogt899 10 місяців тому +3

    So, do you tip the tow captain? I would think so as a courtesy; no? Did you tip them when they rescued the boat in your backyard? Curious. thanks!

    I have the tow insurance with Progressive. Only had to use it once, but well worth it. You forgot to talk about how the tow boat guys seem to be able to traverse all the shallow water with no issues. I see them going all over the place and they never ground!

    We've had Towboat US since 2009. I don't know how people go out without it. Having Towboat US insurance takes away all the stress of boating. You never wonder, "What if the motor quits, or I run aground?"

    • @AdventuresofHappyOurs
      @AdventuresofHappyOurs  10 місяців тому +1

      Yep. Look how much fun these fine folks had getting towed in!
