We provide assistance to vessels of all sizes offshore, on the Intracoastal Waterway, throughout the New River, in narrow canals, and in tight docking areas.

Our fleet responds from Port Everglades and Hillsboro Inlet, allowing us to provide fast and reliable assistance to boaters throughout Broward County and the surrounding areas. We also regularly provide towing and on-water assistance to customers in Miami, West Palm Beach, and across South Florida.
Our services include emergency boat towing, dock-to-dock towing, haul-outs, marina transfers, vessel relocations, and tows to transport ships. Whether you need emergency assistance or help moving a vessel safely from one location to another, our experienced team, diverse fleet, and local knowledge provide the resources and expertise needed to get the job done safely and efficiently.
Long Distance Boat Towing
TowBoatU.S. Ft. Lauderdale specializes in long-distance towing throughout the Southeast United States, the Gulf of America, the Bahamas, and the Caribbean. Our team has successfully completed hundreds of offshore towing operations ranging from small recreational vessels to large motor yachts, commercial vessels, and workboats.
Every long-distance tow is carefully planned with vessel safety as the top priority. Our crews continuously monitor weather conditions, develop customized towing plans, and utilize top-of-the-line towing equipment. Whether towing a disabled vessel, relocating a yacht, or delivering a commercial vessel, our goal is to complete every tow safely and efficiently while taking every precaution to protect the vessel and mitigate further damage.
TowBoatU.S. Ft. Lauderdale operates a diverse towing fleet equipped to handle a wide range of long-distance towing operations. Our 96′ tug, Richard L. Becker, has an approximate range of 4,000 nautical miles. Additional towing assets include the 55′ tug Lady Katherine, the 46′ TowBoatU.S. Launch, and our fleet of inland twin-diesel tugs. This combination of offshore and inland towing vessels allows us to seamlessly manage long-range tows and inland handoffs, ensuring vessels are safely transported from open water to their final destination, including marinas, boatyards, and repair facilities.
