Fast Sea Tow Boats mean you won't have to spend needless time waiting for help to reach you. 

We both win if we can get assistance to you as fast as possible.

We know that keeping you happy is the key to keeping you as a Sea Tow member.  Your satisfaction as a member will remain high only if you get fast, courteous and expert service.

Have you ever noticed a Sea Tow boat with a flashing Red and Yellow light?  Did you wonder what it meant?

The official Rules of the Road name for it is a "Public Safety Light"*

*  § 88.12 Public Safety Activities
(a) Vessels engaged in government sanctioned public safety activities, and commercial vessels performing similar functions, may display an alternately flashing red and yellow light signal. This identification light signal must be located so that it does not interfere with the visibility of the vessel's navigation lights. The identification light signal may be used only as an identification signal and conveys no special privilege. Vessels using the identification light signal during public safety activities must abide by the Inland Navigation Rules, and must not presume that the light or the exigency gives them precedence or right of way.
(b) Public safety activities include but are not limited to patrolling marine parades, regattas, or special water celebrations; traffic control; salvage; firefighting; medical assistance; assisting disabled vessels; and search and rescue.

Our Captains only use it when necessary so if you see the flashing light just use common sense and try to give a wide berth and keep your wake down while passing. 

Your good manners will be much appreciated by the Sea Tow Captain as well as the parties on the boat being assisted.
