Towing bills with rates of $250/hour or more! The average daytime hourly rate for a commercial towing company is $300 from the time they leave their dock until they return. That amount goes up for service provided at night or in bad weather. A BoatUS Unlimited Towing Membership would handle these expenses.

Soft ungrounding fees of $20/foot or more! Towing Companies charge an additional per foot fee to unground your boat in addition to the hourly rate. The BoatUS Unlimited Towing Membership would handle this expense.
