TowBoatU.S. Ft. Lauderdale

Announces New Website 

TowBoatU.S. Ft. Lauderdale, a Broward County based company, announces the completion of a multi-year company evolution.  TowBoatU.S. Ft. Lauderdale was founded as Offshore Marine Towing in 1989 by Larry Acheson after several years of towing and salvage experience gained on the west coast of Florida.  Offshore Marine Towing joined the BoatU.S. (Boat Owners Association of The United States) towing program in 1989 and, a few years later, became one of the first TowBoatU.S. companies in South Florida.  “In order to enjoy the benefits of a nationally branded name,” states Acheson, “our familiar dark blue hull tugs changed to red hulls carrying the nationally known TowBoatU.S. name.  Next, our telephones and radios began to be answered using the TowBoatU.S. name.”  Acheson commented, “While we changed aesthetically, our commitment to providing professional, reliable and experienced service has not wavered.”  

The final phase of the project is the completion of a new website promoting the company’s growth and change throughout the years.  The website is produced in house by TowBoatU.S. Ft. Lauderdale’s Office Manager, Chloe Smith.  In addition to her other duties, Smith has spent countless hours revamping the old website (which she created in 2003.)  “The new website is online,” declares Smith.  “It can be found at www.towboatusftlauderdale.com.”   

Visitors to the site may view the various divisions of the company, read about the company’s work and get to know the captains and crew.  There is insightful information regarding towing and salvage and how the company handles those sometimes controversial situations.  “It’s important for the boating public to know who their assistance providers are,” claims Acheson.  “We want to make it easy for them to get to know us and our qualifications before they need our services on the water.” 

Currently, TowBoatU.S. Ft. Lauderdale operates from three ports and provides towing and other assistance to the marine industry in all of Southeast Florida and the Bahamas.
