Why You Need a Safe/Sea Membership
Professional Towing Is Expensive!
 Without a Safe/Sea Membership, which provides free on-the-water towing for a low annual fee, professional boat towing rates can range from $200 to $400 per hour and always include the rescue boat's time to travel to your location and back to its home dock once the tow is complete. Based on these rates, you can see how the cost of a simple tow from Newport to Greenwich Bay can easily climb to around $1,000. When you're a Safe/Sea Member, you receive this service free of charge.
Amateur Towing Is Unsafe
The second reason you need a Safe/Sea towing plan is not quite so obvious as the first, but probably even more important; safety. While it's nice to think that just any passing boater is able to give you a quick drag back to the dock should you break down, the average boater just doesn't have the knowledge, experience, or equipment to tow another into a busy harbor and put them to the dock safely.
Why take the chance with an amateur tow when you can have the peace of mind that comes with every Safe/Sea Membership? Safe/Sea has been providing towing service to recreational boaters in Rhode Island since 1984 and has successfully completed thousands of operations. Our fleet is unmatched by any other you'll find in the nation, and each rescue towboat we operate has been specifically designed and built to provide fast and efficient service to recreational boats. Our captains rank among the most experienced and respected in the entire Marine Assistance Industry.

"Safe/Sea responded promptly, and efficiently secured and towed my Hinckley Bermuda 40 yawl to Brewer Cowesett Yacht Yard. [My breakdown was] due to a diesel start problem. The captain from Safe/Sea was professional, clear in directions, and safe in handling both his vessel and mine. I'd use no other service. Period. Thank you for being the best in Rhode Island!"
"The equipment was superb and the captain was well experienced in using it. As a member for many years it was my first breakdown. I will continue to be a member and encourage others to join."
"Folks - I cant say enough good about my experience with your company. I have always paid my towing insurance with the knowledge that it would someday pay off and boy, did it ever! All I can say is thank you for being there and providing the prompt and professional service you did. From the response center to the captain of the Salvor thank you all from the crew and family aboard LUNASEA."
