Our History

TowBoatU.S. New Bedford was founded by Captain Ralph Joseph in 1995 as New Bedford Marine Rescue, LLC. He knew there was a growing need to provide safe and prompt towing service to local boaters. Capt. Joseph started out with one 25' rescue vessel based out of the Acushnet River Safe Boating Club in Fairhaven, MA. New Bedford Marine Rescue, LLC joined with the BoatU.S. Towing program as a listed tower in 1996 and became TowBoatU.S. New Bedford, proudly displaying the white TowBoatU.S. logo on the red hull.
