Find out how many boats are in your area for service, other than that I would say they are about the same.
Ask if they come right away, or if your a memeber do you have to wait.
They may not tell you this, but what i heard is that if someone calls who is not a member they go there first cause they pay big $$$$$ for the tow, while you paid only your membership.
Drill both companies with questions. Good Luck

Things done at the last possible minute are done with the greatest possible information. Procrastination is, therefore, the most efficient means of doing things.

I use sea tow just because they offer a little discount at the boat shows,otherwise they both have great coverage in both bays, just make sure you get one, I have heard horror stories of $600+ tows, and the coast guard is not in the towing buisiness!!!  |
Make it idiot proof, and someone will make a better idiot.

sign up with one unless you wanna spend alot of money.
yet again
The Coast Guard will NOT tow you unless someone's life is at risk.
Even then they may remove the injured person and hang out with you waiting for SeaTow.

boat us
We use boat us as we get a .10 discount on our gas at our marina. Also get unlimited coverage if you go offshore. $112 a year but the gas discount usually pays most of this. We have used it twice in 7 years, one tow would have cost $450, the other $750. The $750 tow was in DEc. (off season rates) and there was no boat us boat in the area so they contracted sea tow to come and get us. Well worth the $.

I have used them boath. Sea tow has unlimited towing. Boat us has a restriction. If you fish stellwagon or at least 50 plus miles sea tow has a better plan. I have had to use both and they are equal is service.

thats why they call it fishing not catching
