About – TowBoatUS Cape Coral

Our Fleet & Captains

Starting with a single boat in 1995, TowBoatU.S. Cape Coral has grown to a fleet of six vessels. Three of our boats run outboards and three are diesel powered inboards. The six boats are strategically positioned throughout our waterways. Three boats are located at Tarpon Point Marina, one at Cape Harbor Marina, one at St. James City, and one in Town and River in Fort Myers. For more information on our boats, check out our fleet.

TowBoatU.S. Cape Coral monitors VHF channel's 16 and 19 for distress calls on the Caloosahatchee Waterway and off the coast of Lee County, Florida. If you wonder why you don't hear us very frequently on VHF 16, that's because we respect the airwaves and the responsibility that comes with our F.C.C. license. Rest assured, if you need us we will be there 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. Meet the friendly faces who'll come to your rescue; also known as our captains.

Yesterday I had an engine problem on my newly purchased sailboat. I had so many problems with my 1980 Morgan 382 and nothing went as planned on moving it to where I live in Melbourne. Long story short, I ended up motoring it off shore south from St. Pete. The sail plan I had come up failed for all the anchorage locations and inlets to the ICW weren’t accessible due to channels being too shallow or low bridges. So I motored over night and concluded Fort Myers Beach was the best option. I got within about 6 nm from Moss Marina where I was heading to and had engine failure. I called BoatUS and got wonderful service. Paul the tow boat operator was awesome and so helpful. Tonya who I dealt on the phone with was equally helpful. Both went above what I expected. They both gave me a measure of comfort after so many things went wrong and got me to a marina where I could rest and feel safe.

Amazing service. Got stuck on the Chahasatchpee river from my dads house. i’m on vacation to see my dad and his boats engine died😱 Guys were very good with communication, updating on time. We waited bout an hour, enjoyed the sun tbh and the tow personnel was very professional and accurate. Thus membership saved us $1000 for a tow! Highly reccommend

Couldn’t be more pleased with the service. Very communicative, prompt and Paul was very helpful! Wouldn’t own a boat in SW Florida without this service!

Paul came out and helped us while anchored off of the Sanibel lighthouse. Our starter wasn’t turning the engine over. After a couple of taps with hammer and a jump pack it fired right back up.

Thanks for being out there willing to help us when things don’t go the way we expect them to.

If you have a boat you absolutely need to have a TowBoat US membership.

Thank you again Paul.
