Do You Have Enough Towing?
Commercial towing companies charge based on
“Portal-to-Portal”. In simplest terms, they charge from
the time they leave their port until the time that they
return. These charges average between $150 and $200 per
hour! The distance you breakdown from your home port is
of no matter. It is the distance you breakdown from the
towers homeport. So, even if you only boat close to your
port, if the tower’s port is 10 miles away, your cost
could exceed the expected.
Soft-Ungroundings – In addition to
“Portal-to-Portal” and hourly towing charges, if you
find yourself bumped onto a sandbar, non-members may
also be charged up to $20.00 per foot of your vessels
length to be pulled free. The ungrounding fee is
NOT based on the time it takes to
pull you free, but rather the length
of your boat.
It all adds up:
Scenario – You run soft-aground 15 miles from the
TowBoatUS Homeport in your 24ft. vessel.
