Here at SEA\\TOW we never stop trying to give our members the most money can buy. So, without further ado, we have started a boat insurance company STRICTLY for SEA\\TOW members. It is called SEA\\INSURE. It is so new that we just launched it at the AC Boat show with tremendous results. The savings is only one part of it. By far, the best policy for the money out there. Either call me and we will take your info for a free quote or come see us at one of the shows. I wouldn't put this on here if I was scepticle in any way. We will be at the Southern Regional Fishing Flea Market on the 17th of Feb. if you want some literature or have questions.

Also, for you guys that venture offshore. We have probably the coolest thing I have seen in a long time. It is called sea\\smart. Basically you can make a phone call, yes a phone call from your DSC enabled VHF radio. That means I can talk to you if you are 60, 70, 80 + miles out as if we were on the telephone. Trust me. It is impressive. If you want, I can give live demonstrations at the office or you can go to this link. http://www.seasmartvhf.com/

As always, be safe and let me know if there is anything we can do for you.

Shawn,
Do they offer coverage for charter boats?

Yes, but I believe it is for only 15 + or - charters a year. Not a commercial policy.

The Sea\\Smart sounds great. Also a plus for guys who travel outside of cell reception early and late in the season when there are few boats on the water if any to hear you.

Capt. Shawn some of the magazine reviews of the service mention combination packages with towing service...is this being offered? I did not see anything about a package on the Sea\\Tow web site.

Yes Joe. If you are a member it's one price. If you are not a member - It's more $$$. I don't have the figures in front of me, but when I do I will post them.

Sea Smart - members: $11.95/mo., non-members $16.95/mo. No overages). Annual subscription only. That is from the website. Also it is

We are working on a seasonal package as well. The only obstacle is that since sea tow is a yearly membership, making anything else affiliated with sea tow should be as well. Atleast that's what they tell me.

Along with using it for emergencies and calling your wife/signifigant other to let them know that you will be late because you hooked up with the big one right when it was time to leave or you are coming back on one engine, Your signifigant other will have the opportunity to CALL YOU as well. But you don't have to tell her that!!

The capabilities of this system is mind blowing to me. Pretty cool stuff.

can i come buy shop and get details, quote ect? maybe a box of candy?

Anything for you Mike.

Just talked to our SEA\\INSURE rep. Aside from Sea Tow CNJ area being one of the top areas for new sea\\insure members, He also explained that if you are a SEA\\SMART subscriber they will give you 5% off your insurance bill. Thought I would pass that along.
