T&T: "Unlimited towing" - TowBoatUS vs. SeaTow

[Milt Baker]

Which offers better "unlimited towing" service, TowBoatUS or SeaTow?

Now that Bluewater is back in the USA, I'd like to sign up for one of the "unlimited towing" services, either TowBoaUS or SeaTow.  A quick online check shows the prices are competitive ($118/year for TowBoatUS and $149/year less 15% from SeaTow.  My own experience along the Eastern Seaboard shows that TowBoatUS and SeaTow seem to cover the waterfront about equally.

For those of you who have been down this road before, are there significant advantages/disadvantages of going with one or the other?  Lesson one to me was that "unlimited towing" for both has a specific definition that definitely does not mean UNLIMITED TOWING.  Both have some weasel words in their service agreements about service in and out of one's home port or home area, a concern since we expect to cruise in the Bahamas and cover the east coast from south Florida to Down East Maine.

Thanks for any insights or input you can provide!
