Boat Salvage in South Texas

What is a salvage? Marine Salvage refers to the rescue of maritime property from a maritime peril. The vessel must be in actual danger or imminent danger (meaning: it’s about to happen)

• Our salvage masters use the proper equipment to prevent any unnecessary damage to vessels. Cranes and other heavy machinery are utilized when needed along with other salvage techniques. TowBoatUS has portable salvage and dive equipment ready 24 hours a day to assist those in need.
• Marine salvage services from TowBoatUS fall under a salvage contract which is separate from the tow services provided by BoatUS. Salvage is typically covered under a marine insurance “protection and indemnity” policy that specifically provides coverage for salvage, refloat, or wreck removal. An annual membership will not cover anything that falls under “salvage” such as sinking, capsizing, taking on water, etc.
• TowBoatUS will directly collaborate with your insurance company. Once arrangements are made with your insurance company and compensation has been agreed upon, we usually will bill directly and handle the rest of the details for you.
