Determination Marine

Towing disabled vessels is at the heart of our services, both local and long distance. We tow boats both commercial and pleasure along the Maine coast and New England to port for repairs. Whether your vessel’s engine has failed or another vital system isn’t operating correctly, we can safely, quickly, and reliably tow your vessel to the port of your choice for repair. We provide these services year-round, and in various weather conditions, depending on the services needed. We also offer long or short distance Long distance marine towing services are available for vessel owners, insurers, and shipyards.  We welcome challenges in providing marine towing services to our clients.

We provide customized recovery and salvage solutions to suit almost any situation. Whether your vessel is full of water, underwater, on the rocks, or anywhere it is not supposed to be, Determination Marine keeps a diverse fleet of towing and salvage vessels from small skiffs to 44’ offshore ready tow boats to show up with the right equipment for the job. Our smaller outboard vessels are easily trailerable on relatively short notice if need be. We also have a mobile salvage trailer that is kept stocked and ready to go. If your boat has sunk, we have all of the equipment needed to refloat your vessel and if the vessel is full of water, we can quickly and effectively de-water it. If your vessel is in need of salvage and recovery services along the Maine coast, on Sebago Lake, or any surrounding body of water- give us a call.
