Light Salvage in the Rain and the SHORTEST TOW EVER!

A couple of jobs from 7/1/24. The shortest tow I've ever done in some nice weather, albeit breezy, followed by a 25' Chris Craft Catalina taking on water at the dock. The weather turned quickly, but ended up nice for the way home. Great shots with the ‪@insta360‬
The first tow was in Swampscott Harbor, MA. The boat was a 20' Hydrasport going 20' to their mooring. The second tow was a 25' Chris Craft Catalina which was taking on water at the dock near Squantum Yacht Club. I towed them to Town River Marina in Quincy, MA.

Whats a tow run these days, also I have tow insurance thru Allstate do you take that or I pay you and bill the insurance company?

Hey. Thanks for checking out the channel. The average tow runs about $600 put of pocket with no coverage. The only insurance companies we work directly with are Geico, which owns TowBoatUS, and Progressive. Progressive uses a service called Compass Marine, but they are not in our area, so they reimburse us directly for service. All others submit an invoice to their insurance for reimbursement.

Nice show. I sail out of Hingham and always wondered how this works. Owning a boat means being on top of everything good to know you are there.
