Using the EZ Captain Hook to attach to a vessel in rough weather. Mostly just judging the gap correctly, and I use the look on the back instead of the slide so it doesn’t bind. I took these distribution of these hooks a few months ago, they’re not cheap, but I have some that are 10 years old still if used correctly. #captainretriever #towing #howto #boatingsafety #boatus #seas | Captain Retriever

How I make life easier towing boats. The EZ Captain Hooks can be used with a quick release cord! Simply run a piece of heavy fluorocarbon or heavy stiff mono inside a piece of Dyneema to disconnect tows at a safe distance. #captainretriever #tips #howto #boating #captain #towing #easier #quick | Captain Retriever

Salvaging a capsized pontoon boat. Righting it with come-a-longs.. This dock building pontoon rolled when a piling was being hoisted, and was thrown off balance; The boat wakes were pretty bad while I was trying to work on it, so most likely the issue.. #captainretriever #salvage #boat #pontoon #sunk #capsize #rescue #boatlife | Captain Retriever

Capsized 15’ Boat, Recovery & Removal from local Florida waterway. This was a relatively easy one, and I was able to just use the pitch pole or tombstone method.

120’ Yacht loses engines up current of a bridge! Fortunately they were able to get an anchor over in a hurry, just on the wrong side of the boat! We got them in tow, through a number of obstacles, and back to the dock safely with 2 boat tow! #towing #boatus #rescue #yacht #boating | Captain Retriever

Boats sink for a lot of reasons, but recognizing the warning signs, and taking the appropriate action can potentially save you and your boat! You have to be proactive, and properly maintain your vessel to stay ahead of trouble, but noticing the signs early, and being a step ahead of trouble can help keep you safe! #captainretriever #salvage #rescue #sinking #capsize #mayday | Captain Retriever

52’ Boat sinking fast, a little longer it would have been sitting on the bottom, and a much bigger job. Pumped out, and found the problem pretty quickly..

Tight canal challenges while towing a boat. I’ve found you can just bridle large boats (because the cleats are higher), but smaller ones you need to elevate the tow line to clear the outboard engines. This canal is notoriously tricky, and it’s fun to film the maneuvering we have to do to get in & out! We don’t tie to the engine guard or tie it any closer because that limits our ability to slow down & pivot. Fun times! #captainretriever #boating #towing #professional #boatus #rescue #methods | Ca

When boats drag anchor the solution seems simple, but it usually involves back breaking work, ungrounding the boat, mud everywhere, and plenty of opportunities to get mixed up in the mess. While they’re never fun we do our best to help the customer, and get their vessel back to safety. #boating #towing #rescue #captain #boatus #captainretriever | Captain Retriever

Towing a 76’ Broward! Windy day teamwork on a tandem tow, then a hip tow into the marina for repairs. The key to a good 2 boat tow is when you’re on the same page; The boat moves as one, the stern controls the bow just as much as the lead tow boat. #towing #boating #captain #boatus #howto #professional | Captain Retriever

It’s usually the cheapest parts that sink the most boats. Check your strainers, thru hull fittings, shaft logs, exhaust hoses, and any other points of potential water entry. The majority of sunk boats happen at docks, and are completely avoidable with tools like remote monitoring.. #captainretriever #sunk #boats # | Captain Retriever

I received a lot of comments on why I should choke my line up to the back of my boat. I put together this video to better show the mechanics of this boat, and why I don’t do it with mid size & larger tows. Basically it doesn’t allow you to steer, gate lines have the same effect, these boats are designed to tow more forward of the engines. I don’t understand why so many assistance towboats have engine guard catches, I haven’t been on one where it improves control of your tow (this is similar to a

Where do old boats go when the cost of upkeep exceeds what most people are willing to put into them. This boat was swarmed by termites, and the owner decided to cut his losses after being unable to find a buyer or even give it away. BOAT : Break Out Another Thousand is a phrase to live by as a boat owner. #captainretriever #hatteras #boating #expensive #goodbye #towing #boatus | Captain Retriever

Replacing a hydraulic steering fitting in the field! One of the little tricks we use to keep our boats operational. (Not all fittings are reusable some are one time use.) These are a lifesaver in remote areas, and a must have for avid boaters. #captainretriever #howto #diy #maintenance #boatus #towing #work #tips #tricks | Captain Retriever

The migration of boats getting pulled out of the water for hurricane Milton. Hopefully it will all stay north of us, doing the final preparations, and securing our own vessels. Hope everyone stays safe, and keeps their vessels out of harms way!

34’ @searayboats Sundancer definitely impressed us with it’s sealed compartments! That boat should have 100% sunk if it were any other boat, the back half was completely destroyed! Re-floating the stern, and pumping water out to make transport & hauling safer & easier. #captainretriever #qualifiedcaptain #impressed #builttough #boating #hurricanemilton #lieutenantdan #towing #salvage | Captain Retriever

Ungrounding a 41’ Jupiter, missed the 2 floating red channel markers. High & Dry with no trailer eye as a strong point to pull from. Decided the best option would be to wash a channel out of the sandbar. #captainretriever #stuck #boat #towing #fail #rescue #ohcrap #mondays | Captain Retriever

124’ Of Way Too Close! Going smooth until the boat made a hard right! Safety boat had to get on it! We were there primarily as a safety boat, we had a towboat on the bow and stern of the tow. Basically just slack line escort incase an engine went down or current or wind caught it wrong. It did, and I didn’t like the look of it, so we had to step it up! #captain #fail #boating #closecall #towing #boatus | Captain Retriever

Ripping tide, and a 120’ Jet Drive Yacht! One hard current push from the north sends the bow over, fortunately we’re using 2 towboats, one acting as a drag essentially a rudder, and my vessel I’m approaching leaving some power to spare for corrections. I ask my tail boat to slow the vessel, and make minor corrections before I begin bringing the bow over. It’s a fine balance, and having 2 captains on the same page makes the process problem free. #towing #captain #boatus #yacht #qualified #howto |

How To Stop A Runaway Boat The “Safer” Way - No Diving In The Boat Necessary. Describing my experiences with runaway boats, and the method I personally developed to safely stop them. Nothing is easy about this situation, and it can put a lot of other boaters in harms way, so it’s paramount to safely stop these vessels. Ive seen a bunch of these cases, while each one is different, the common issue is the efforts to stop them are usually drawn out and/or very sketchy. Hopefully people can learn fr
