Sea Tow
Franchise Overview
This franchise operates as the premier on-water assistance network, offering members 24/7 priority service that includes unlimited boat towing within their home area, fuel delivery, jump starts, and additional emergency services—all with no distance or dollar limits. The business model is membership-based, meaning franchisees earn recurring revenue rather than charging per incident, aligning operator incentives with customer satisfaction and fast response. Franchisees build and manage local marine assistance operations staffed by captains and crew, serving recreational boaters in defined geographic territories across the United States and parts of Europe.
Each franchise owner receives comprehensive support from the corporate team including operational guidance, marketing resources, and access to an established brand with decades of trust in the boating community. The model suits owner-operators with a passion for the marine industry and an entrepreneurial drive to serve their local boating community. The second-generation family-owned corporate franchisor is headquartered in Southold, NY.
