Captain Mike Dudzinski's acquisition of Sea Tow Northern New Jersey ensures continuity of premium on-water assistance services while bringing four decades of marine industry expertise to enhance operations for the local boating community.

Sea Tow Northern New Jersey, the premium on-water assistance provider in the area, is now operating under the new ownership of Captain Mike Dudzinski. Captain Dudzinski will oversee all aspects of the franchise operation and continue to serve the local boating community with the exceptional service they’ve come to know. Established in 1987, Sea Tow Northern New Jersey services the Sandy Hook and Metro New York areas, reaching as far north as the George Washington Bridge.
To best serve members and boaters alike, the fleet of purpose-built boats are strategically positioned at Bakers Marina on the Bay. Captain Dudzinski brings over 40 years of experience in the marine industry and as a lifelong boat owner, with a well-rounded background that includes serving as a charter captain, marina employee and investor, and expert in marine electronics installation. This transition matters because it maintains critical marine safety services while introducing enhanced operational expertise to the region.
The implications of this ownership change include sustained reliability for boaters who depend on Sea Tow's essential services. Sea Tow membership benefits include unlimited boat towing with no distance or dollar limits in a member’s home area, fuel delivery, jump starts, covered ungroundings, scheduled dock-to-dock towing coverage on all their covered vessels, and members always get priority over non-members – 24/7. Additional marine services available outside of membership include salvage and recovery operations.
Sea Tow President Kristen Frohnhoefer expressed confidence in the transition, noting that Northern New Jersey boaters can expect the same exceptional service they’ve always relied on for all their on-water assistance needs. The importance of this ownership transfer lies in preserving the continuity of marine emergency services that have been operational since 1987, ensuring that boaters in the Sandy Hook and Metro New York areas continue to receive prompt, professional assistance when needed most.
