TowBoatU.S New River Assists Motor Yachts
During the Ft. Lauderdale International Boat Show
TowBoatU.S New River has just completed another year of assisting captains and crew at the 49th annual Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show. The Ft. Lauderdale based towing company began its relationship with the show in 1996 and is proud to have been a key ingredient to the successful setup and breakdown of the in water boats on display for the past eleven years. Chris Stevens is a senior supervisor with the company and has been the lead captain at the show each year since 1996. After this year's show Stevens noted "The number of large yachts as well as the average size of the yachts participating in the show continues to increase each year as evidenced by the 204' Feadship M/Y Fortunato that we assisted into her slip during the days leading up to the show. Strong currents and winds combined with steel pilings make it very difficult for the boats to safely dock without assistance; our presence helps to ease the stress that the captains and crew aboard these large yachts are under during this time." The company also assists with the setup and breakdown of the Miami Brokerage show and the Palm Beach Boat Show each year. Please take a minute to view this video clip for an up close look at the boats and captains in action.
