Amazing Water Service/Tow Captain and Diver

Blaeser · 10-14-2024, 10:46 AM

Unfortunately, we were on the lake this weekend during the rough waters and our prop caught the bottom as we left our island property. Needed to do work on the house. Needless to say we lost all boat control and the large waves threw our boat onto the rocky shoreline.

Captain Peter from BoatUS and his master diver Torrin came out to help us and pull the boat off the rocks and tow it back to the marina for repairs.

They were amazing, years of experience, empathic, and went were careful to do whatever they could to minimize further damage to the boat which was hanging on some big rocks.

I highly recommend them if you run onto trouble on the lake. I believe Captain Peter always the BoatUS guy. I guess he was quite a soccer player too.

Thanks for the tip, and terribly sorry to hear about your boat. Nobody was hurt?

Though it's a little late now, a good safety device is an anchor. It might have kept you off the rocks. Better boating next year.
