I have my marine insurance policy with Geico and it seems they just switched the included towing membership to BoatUS instead of SeaTow. Which membership do y’all have for the Fourchon/Grand Isle area?

Apparently for this area, BoatUS contracts to local entities and only reimburses up to $3000 of the expense. FWIW, if you are within the 25 mile range of a BoatUS port it’s free. I seem to recall SeaTow having much better terms for this particular area.

I had SeaTow. Never had to use it, but I did know a couple people that did. Worked out fine for them.

SeaTow only goes as far West as Grand Isle in that area. I researched this when I set up in Fourchon this Spring. It’s because Lafourche and Terrebonne Parish Sheriff’s offices both have a water patrol division that will come get you. And if you’re close to Fourchon, their Harbor Patrol will come get you. Their officer I talked to said SeaTow contacted them and asked them if they would quit towing people so they could expand their business.

That said, SeaTow for Grand Isle and points East is a great investment.
