C-Tow is Canada’s premiere marine assistance provider that has been offering recreational boaters expert towing services since 1984. We have the largest fleet of Transport Canada-certified captains serving boaters in British Columbia, Ontario and Newfoundland.

Proudly Canadian-owned and operated, we understand that unexpected events can happen on the water. C-Tow is on standby 24/7 to offer assistance. All our captains have expert knowledge of the local regions they serve. They adhere to the Canadian Guard towing policies with specialized skills in marine assistance, vessel recovery, boating safety and navigation.

C-Tow ANCHOROur commitment to your safety is second to none. We provide professional towing and recovery assistance if your boat has run aground, capsized, and experiences engine/systems failure. C-Tow captains also respond if you have become lost on the open water or need help managing unpredictable, inclement weather.

With our 24/7 dispatch centre, you’ll be connected to a real person – in real-time – so we can promptly offer the help and on-water assistance you need when you need it.

Ted PerrinTed Perrin
Conception Bay

Ted Perrin is proud to be a Conception Bay, Newfoundland native. He’s lived there all his life and spends a lot of time in the summer on the local beaches exploring coves, caves and islands.

I was almost born in a boat. As soon as I could sit upright, I was with dad on his boat. After high school, I went to marine college, earning my Watchkeeping Mate Certificate. I operate a 26ft Canadian Custom RIB Zodiac, a retired Department of Fisheries + Ocean enforcement vessel. Plus a 17ft Polaris RIB, a retired Coast Guard boat. Also, a 26ft Fast Rescue Craft (FRC).

I was doing some training in Halifax on sea survival, went to the Halifax boat show and met the C-Tow owner. I knew C-Tow wasn’t active in our region, we got talking, and it was a great fit. I am the first C-Tow Captain in Newfoundland.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Andrew Newman

White Rock

Andrew Newman knows a lot about water safety. He served as a rescue volunteer with the Royal Canadian Marine Service and Rescue (RCM-SAR) for a decade.  He also owns and operates White Rock Sea Tours and Whale Watching. In his few off hours, he helps educate his local community about conservation and the environment.

I live with my wife, our 2 children and our German Shepherd, Chewy, in this small waterfront community south of Vancouver. There’s always a friendly face no matter where I go. My area includes White Rock, Surrey, Boundary Bay, Twasawwasen, Southern Georgia Straight and the Southern Gulf Islands.

There’s nothing like setting out for the Gulf Islands. On Saturna Island, we visit the fabulous Lighthouse Pub at Lyle Harbour. The seafood there is incredible. Saturna is also a beautiful island to enjoy kayaking, hiking and camping. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Melissa Curtis

Comox

Melissa Curtis is an outdoor kind of gal who has always been into unusual ways of making a living. After eight seasons with a roller derby team where she competed, coached and trained, she’s thrilled to be the only female C-Tow Captain.

My partner Pasha and I live in beautiful Comox on Vancouver Island. It’s a small community, and skiing on nearby Mount Washington and being close to water and nature are the things we love about living here.

One of our favourite local spots is Sandy Island Marine Provincial Park, known as ‘Tree Island’ offers lovely sandy beaches to explore. It’s also fun to anchor our boat and jump into the water for a swim.

Pursuit S268 Sport CC

By Andy Adams

The Pursuit S 268 Sport centre console is a do-it-all kind of boat with a solid sense of style. Centre console designs have been developed for the southern blue water sport fishing enthusiasts (and this boat would raise fish with the best of them) but the Pursuit S 268 Sport centre console offers far more utility and enjoyment than just fishing.

Bayfield Marine Turns 40 with Big April Events

Ron and Pat Reder started out in October 1984 across the road from where they are right now on the Bayfield River in Bayfield ON. The store front was about 10 x 20 and the rest of that side of the building was a stock room, wood finishing room, then behind that was more back stock and the lunchroom. Expanding every few years for the store front, then moving over to this new building five years ago, this year with Adam, Shelley, and Holly are carrying on the business.
