🌊 Rough water is exactly when you don’t want your boat to have issues. When the wind is up, the waves are building, and conditions are challenging, a mechanical failure can quickly become more than just an inconvenience. A disabled boat can very quickly become a dangerous situation.
👉 Our Captains regularly respond in conditions that most boaters would avoid—not because it’s easy, but because that’s often when help is needed most.
While rough-weather tows are demanding on both our captains and equipment, our mission remains the same: to provide a safe, professional response and get boaters off the water and back to shore.
A breakdown on a calm summer evening is one thing. A breakdown in rough conditions is another.
🛟 No one plans to break down, but you can be prepared. Get or renew your Towing membership.

The making of the TowCat for Leech Lake, MN.
It was almost a shame, the gel coat on her was in perfect condition, hard to sand it all down, but then she looked so darn pretty when she was red! Tow bit and motorguard custom fabrication, lights and decals to finish it off. Then the proper equipment. It’s an investment building out a professional TowBoat! theoriginalupnorth

SCA - Small Craft Advisory 🚨 It is NOT safe to go out on the big lake
South side Lake of the Woods, Mn is a No-Go today and tomorrow! (June 13-14)
Stick to the Rainy River.
We understand when you make a trip up to Lake the Woods you wanna get out on the water, but it’s not worth the risk.
It’s been a gnarly couple days with extreme winds and it’s a washing machine and will continue through tomorrow!

⚠️ Woke up to your dock and pontoon upside down? This customer did.

By 5:30 PM the same day, our team had the sea legs down, pontoon upright, and trailered.

Proper equipment. Rapid response. Professional Recovery.

Bonus- we got the dock standing again too. 👏🚤

When the unexpected happens, we’re here to help.

⚠️ It was safe at the dock... until it wasn’t.🌊 High winds from just the right direction left this vessel severely swamped.
It’s easy to think, “That would never happen to me.” The reality is that Mother Nature doesn’t care how experienced of a boater you are. Weather, waves, and changing conditions can turn a normal day into a serious situation.
👉Thanks to a careful, surgical recovery, we were able to re-float the boat in place and safely tow it to an access point for trailering. In most situations, precision recovery is far better than brute force—which can often cause unnecessary additional damage.

When the unexpected happens, having the right team can make all the difference. Excellent work by the LOTW recovery team! 👏🚤
