New Sea Tow app adds weather and assistance tools

Sea Tow® has launched a redesigned mobile app for members and non-members, offering access to on-water assistance, marine weather information and membership services. The company provides 24-hour priority service in locations including the Bahamas, Puerto Rico, Canada and Alaska. 

The company says the updated app has been developed to provide more responsive performance and simpler navigation. Its features include coastal marine forecasts, real-time wind conditions, weather radar, interactive tide charts and severe weather alerts. 

Users can also access boating videos and blog content through the app. 

GPS location sharing supports assistance requests

The app’s request assistance function allows users to share their GPS location automatically when seeking help on the water. Sea Tow says this is intended to improve communication and reduce uncertainty when identifying a boater’s position. 

Sea Tow members can use the app to manage or renew their membership, access member-only content and securely store vessel information. According to the company, storing these details can make the process of requesting assistance quicker and more efficient. 

Non-members can access the app’s weather resources, including tide information, wind conditions, radar and coastal marine forecasts. They can also use the app to request on-water assistance when required. 

This is Sea Tow’s most robust app to date. It’s all things boating, in one finely crafted app. Requesting assistance with automatic GPS sharing streamlines the process and reduces many of the uncertainties when a boater calls for help. With marine forecasts, tides, winds, and weather alerts, this app is essentially an on-water tool boaters can rely on every day.
