We broke down by Avalon Catalina less than a mile away. I called several times on channel 16 to Seatow with no answer. I finally was directed to channel 11. I was directed if I had a phone with signal to call them. I did and I was told they will dispatch a tow boat. I was told approximately 1 hour and 20 minutes ETA. Captain Anthony would arrived. I got three text messages. One from dispatch if I had any questions and one that said "Sea Tow Captain Anthony A is en-route to your location. ETA: 120 minutes. For updates, call ×××-×××-××××. Please do not reply to this message." and one from Captain Anthony. He asked us for our location and if we had food and water. Also, he suggested to call Avalon harbor patrol and ask if they would tie us up to a mooring or dock. But unfortunately they did not. Upon arriving Captain Anthony texted us and said he was 1.5 nm out. That was good to know, so we could look for him.<br>It took a little longer than expected but it was also not smooth waters. When he arrived he assured us we are safe and to relax. He will take care of everything and asked us where to be towed. I said the loading ramp in Dana point. He estimated about a 4 hour tow or more at approximately 5 to 7 kts. When we reached Dana point inside the marina, he went from a front tow configuration to a side tow configuration. He is excellent. He squeezed our boats in the loading dock with such smoothness and skill and disconnected. He said have a good day and was about to leave. I wanted to give him a tip. So I did. Then, he had backed up already and was about to leave and my beautiful heart daughter who is 8 said, daddy can I give him money. He helped us and I want to give him my money. So I called him back. He look confused to return but was super grateful for the tip. We are super grateful for his service and professionalism as well as a reliable SeaTow company that I feel safe to get us.<br>It was our first time using Seatow and I recommend them! Thank you SeaTow.

It's been a while since I needed service, but as expected... Capt Konner B was timely and an expert at his craft! I appreciate the immediate support and I know if I needed service again, I can depend on the Newport/LA team to get me back to the dock.

They refused to come to catalina to get me while anchored off China Point. They say Catalina is out of range, so if you boat in OC/LA and you go to Catalina or further do not get Sea Tow.
