Programs: With a focus on safe boating practices that result in fun on the water, the sea tow foundation - a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization - was established in 2006 by sea tow founder capt.

Close to 50,000 life jackets have been made available from over 450 life jacket loaner stations located in 36 states at boat ramps, marinas, and parks for the public to borrow and return at no charge on the honor system across the united states. Sea tow foundation's "designate a sober skipper" is being operated by 232 volunteer groups in 29 states and territories having reached over 2,000,000 people; and the campaign continues to grow.
