MARINE TOWING

Route the disabled boat and the destination it actually needs.

YardSlot coordinates sourcing for routine marine towing and movement needs, then connects repair, yard or storage dependencies. YardSlot is not the towboat, emergency dispatcher or salvage operator.

GEOGRAPHIC COVERAGE

Coverage depends on provider reach.

Marine towing is highly geographic. YardSlot routes to commercial operators serving the vessel’s actual waterway and can coordinate a receiving yard or marina where available. Provider service boundaries and conditions must be confirmed for each request.
BoatUS distinguishes routine towing/ungrounding from salvage based on immediate peril and special equipment. A sinking vessel, hard grounding, fire, vessel taking on water or operation requiring specialized salvage equipment can fall outside routine towing. For immediate danger, contact the appropriate emergency authority or established marine emergency service directly.
