On Saturday Sep. 25 our boat had engine failure. TowBoat US got the job done.Thank you again to Capt. Oscar Claros! He was there 30 minutes before the estimated time, from afar we could see he came straight to our boat. We have an older model 27ft heavy craft and he had no trouble hitching or docking us at the marina. The service was very quick and the captain definitely made this bad situation much less stressful for us.

This company is the best value for the money and a piece of mind! I am refitting my old sail boat. I have gone through 3 outboard engines and each time these guys have come to the rescue. I had the privilege to get captain Jay to help me. This guy was so patient, kind, and warm on arrival. A complete professional got me to where I was going safe and sound. Not only that, he gave me some great info out sea floor in my area that I had no idea and kept me from getting grounded. These guys are great and I will be a life time customer!!

I recently purchased an older sailboat and after Stripping the sails in prep for Tropical Storm Elsa, my engine died, and had to drop anchor to avoid crashing into the dock or another boat. Jay the Captain from Towboat, arrived, and took the situation in hand. He assessed the situation, immediately securing my boat, and then he proceeded to help me clear my emergency anchor as it had become entangled. He spent a great deal of time and effort, going far above and beyond! He is a professional and I would recommend him and towboat to anyone who reads this. If you have a boat in Miami, I hope that you never find yourself in a similar situation, but if you do, I hope that Capt Jay comes to the rescue!

I just got out of the Hospital after 10 days fighting COVID and I have to move my sailboat . I was so weak from so much coughing that I could not even pick up my anchor.

Review №21

After we ran out boat aground just south of Fisher Island, we called TowBoatUS to help us. They dispatched Captain Mike Black, and he rushed to try to pull us out before the tide got too low but it was just dropping way too fast so we were forced to wait it out. Ultimately, he stuck around and waited as long as he could for the tide to rise again. He got dispatched to a few other calls in between but kept calling to check on us periodically. It started to get late and his shift was ending, so Captain Mike Black came by one last time to check on us and introduce us to Captain Chris, who would be taking care of us going forward. A short while later, when Captain Chris arrived, the tide had come up and he was able to get us out.Excellent response time, communication and customer service. Both Captains deserve recognition. Thanks!

I called this morning around 6am to get help with my sunk boat. The guy flat out didnt want to help. He told me Capt Brents would call me for a price.Them some guy shows up and asks me for ny insurance.

I feel ripped off. We call Towboat. The guy shows up tells me it’s $650 for a tow then says his friend can do it a little cheaper. Then another guy calls me and tellsn me he can tow us for $500 cash. 40 minutes later an orange response boat shows up. I guess Kick backs are in every business.

Had an unforeseen issue on the water, called another company but they were 2 hours out.Luckily, we spotted a tow boat passing by and was able to hail them.Captain Jay was straightforward and professional, had a slight issue with the cage for the outboard motors scuffing the boat but we are working on getting that taken care of.

Review №35

I had a bad experience yesterday at Duffys Restaurant that caused me too much money loss. The Captain charged me $3,500 up front before he did the job. He said that he would be using a water pump and floating equipment in my boat but the Captain didnt use it making my boat engine sink under water and therefore losing it. I definitely dont recommend this company.

Our 33ft Carver was in need to be towed and we had no way of getting to her . Capt Jay was awesome!! He waited for us at the dock and brought us to our boat . He then helped us get the battery charged and then towed us to our Mooring ball . He even helped us tie the lines to the mooring . It was pouring like crazy but he still took us back safely to the dock . We were so thankful .

Review №38

Very disappointed by the unprofessional work from the captains from towboat us Miami, me and my family and friends (16 people ) had ran out of gas during a very busy weekend in haulover and were stuck floating until we waved down captain Chris which came and offerd us a tow to the fuel dock and a 1 gallon tank of gas we assumed he was just trying to help us but before we got to the gas station he insisted that we paid $300 for a 1 gallon tank of gas we instantly declined and he then he made us pay $30 for the gas very unprofessional, I do not have a towboat us Miami membership but if I did I would definitely cancel my membership because they are only on the water to take your money, very unprofessional

Oscar was extremely professional and helpful.

Capt Oscar Claros with Tow Boat US towed my boat back to the ramp in very windy conditions, not once was I worried about my safety or the boat getting damaged. Oscar was very professional and kind, he was able to get my vessel out of a tight slip with ease. Definitely one of the best tow boat drivers I’ve seen. It was blowing 30+ knots of wind out of the NE and white capping in the bay. No issues at all, happy to be a TowBoat US member and Oscar is a prefect reason why I choose Tow Boat US over competitors.Oscar if you can see this, thank you again for all your help and safe travels.

Had to use TowboatUS when my boat overheated, stopped and started taking on water. Captain Jay and his boat arrived with the Fire Dept., didnt even need to make a call. Captain Jay took charge, decided boat was no longer taking on water, calmed us down and said Ive got it, juat relax and Ill get ya back to boat ramp safely. He towed us for a couple hrs at night. Knew exactly what he was doing and as promised we got back to the boat ramp. Great experience through a costly bad experience with our boat.

I have used TowBoat for over 15 years and have always considered them a part of my boating budget. Capt. Jay texted us to confirm his arrival time. Arrived earlier which was great and navigated us through a storm up the Miami River to our destination for repairs. Communicated with us the entire way as we traversed 10 bridges, 7 of which were bascule/draw bridges. Thoroughly satisfied with this Captains skills and professionalism.Thanks Again TowBoat!

Let me start by saying...I am a SeaTow member. I was in Pelican Harbour and battery was low so I couldnt start our boat. Kyle was at the next dock so I told him I was with SeaTow but would he mind giving me a jump. without hesitation and with a smile, he laughed and said sure, let me help you! that doesnt happen in MIAMI! what a professional with an awesome attitude. If I ever decide to leave Sea Tow, he will be my first call to where I jump ship. Thanks Kyle for bringing a smile to a day in 2020!!

A pleasant experience from arranging service with Stephanie who explained the whole procedure connected me with the main office for verification and Then followed up after approval. Thank you StephanieCaptain Oscar showed up on time to help move my vessel and made additional suggestions for a safer TransitHe was extremely helpful, professional, and courteous keeping constant contact to check on my situation.During the tow, my vessel, a 51 foot full keel catch also experienced steering failure in S. Broward ICW in heavy current.Captain Oscar quickly assessed the situation moved to a shorter tow in heavy traffic so he could maintain control of my vessel in the heavy currents through the bridges.I always feel safe in the Miami area because of Tow Boat US Miami through Biscayne Towing and the service their captains like Captain Oscar give.Not the easiest trip Captain but your professionalism and obvious experience made it seem so.Much Thanks to both you and MiamiTowBoat US for your excellent serviceRick Sargent

Me and a few friends got stranded by the sandbar and tried to get help from this company. The dude working said he didnt wanna help us because we were a liability. Our lives were on the line and the guy was talking about liabilities. Im disgusted. We had no choice but to take his word that he was calling the police to help us. We waited forever and they never showed up. We didnt have phones working. Luckily a family that was there as well listened to us and readily helped us. No issue at all. No equipment, no experience, no problem. As opposed to the actual towing boat by this company that clearly didnt wanna work, let alone help people in dire need. If you are reading this and are thinking about placing your safety and property to this company to secure, you are making a grave mistake.

I just want to begin with saying I am not a BoatUS member, regardless, i am not here to bash BoatUS Miami. I am sure they offer great service, but I just want to share my experience i had this weekend on the water when I approached Captain Kyle for a friendly question on if they were going to allow boaters to park on the sand bar and one of his rude replies was for me to to ask the police officer so i can get a ticket. Then he told me he would be there later when my boats battery runs out of charge, when i told him NO, I have SeaTow, which then he replied Oh so you will then end up waiting four hours. I told him no i wouldnt as I have never had a bad experience with SeaTow. He shouldnt be treating possible future customers that way. He was just parked on his phone, which is probably why got the bad raft as i disturbed him. Oh well, hopefully he realizes its not ok to treat people that way. Captains name was Kyle.

The size of my boat is intimidating, at 50 Ft, but Captain Jay got me over to the fuel dock, and after trying to start the boat and failing again ( long day ) he got me back to my slip so I could ascertain my next move .

When our engine died on our way back to our dock while in the Atlantic, TowBoatUS Miami was on the scene quickly and soon had us under tow. They were very professional and patient as we prepared our boat for towing and again as we tied up for docking maneuvers.

The Towboat driver captain Jarvis was execellent. He treated us great from the start. Great attitude and a lot of concern for our safety and well being. He took us back to the marina and even helped us dock the boat.It’s rare to meet people who go the extra mile for others.

Our boat ran aground last night and Captain Jarvis Osorio was dispatched to help us but unfortunately the tide was too low and he could not get close enough with his boat. We were planning to wait for the next high tide.I was on shore, but when it became much colder later I called Jarvis and told him that there was only one person on the boat and it was quite cold and his cell phone was dying.Jarvis told me that he didn’t ever like to leave anybody stranded so he went out immediately and was able to get close enough to at least get the passenger back to his home dock.He contacted us again in the morning to see if we needed any help getting the boat. I felt he went above and beyond because we knew that we would have to wait until high tide to float the boat, I don’t think that Jarvis was required to come out to get the passenger, but he did and I’m very grateful for that.
