Silver Ships Recognized as Top Boat Choice by TowBoatUS Captains in Boating Magazine
Silver Ships was recently featured in Boating Magazine’s article, ‘The Boat Choices of TowBoatUS Captains,’ as one of the top vessels used by TowBoatUS captains to assist stranded commercial fishermen and other boaters in need of assistance.
What Makes Silver Ships Stand Out?

Silver Ships’ vessels have earned a reputation for their exceptional design, speed and safety features essential for high-stake missions, and custom-designed marine assist center console and storage to meet the needs of towboat captains. Designed for swift response and maneuverability, Silver Ship vessels are engineered to excel in harsh conditions. Whether facing rough waters or critical rescue situations, they perform efficiently under pressure and tow.
With 40 years of experience, Silver Ships is an industry leader. Their impressive portfolio includes the most recent delivery of the AM 1100 Towboat offering reliable performance with a versatile design. This is a sister vessel to a boat designed for the special operations community and offers towboat captains significant offshore capabilities, extended range and increased storage capacity for both towing and salvage missions.
Why This Mention Matters
Being highlighted in Boating Magazine confirms Silver Ships’ trusted position by towboat captains as a high-performance manufacturer. This recognition reflects the company’s commitment to reliability and excellence. Silver Ships continues to set the bar for quality and performance. As the article notes, captains target broken-down boaters needing a battery jump, extra fuel, a nudge from a sandbar or a tow home. Silver Ships understands the missions of towboat captains and continues to design and manufacture towboats that exceed their expectations.
The article further explores the types of boats most frequently rescued by TowboatUS captains, many of which are commercial vessels in high-stakes operations. These boats often break down in remote, challenging areas like shallow waters or storm-prone zones, where quick response is crucial. Silver Ships’ vessels are built to endure these harsh conditions, ensuring they reach distressed vessels even in the most difficult environments. With their durable design and performance-driven engineering, Silver Ships vessels are up to the task, providing the best vessel to towboat captains when they need it most.
