🚨 ATTENTION, MARINERS! 🚨
Well, folks, this is something we’ve been waiting for ALL SUMMER! 🚤⚓

While this is great news, we anticipate this could be a lengthy project. At this point, it remains unclear whether the channel will be marked in time for the fall fishing season. Until then it is still recommended to use OYSTER CREEK CHANNEL.

We don’t have any additional details regarding the project just yet, but rest assured, we’re looking into it!
As soon as we have more information, we’ll pass it along!

🌊 2026 NOR’EASTER RECOVERY UPDATE 🌊

It’s been a minute since we posted an update on our recovery efforts following the 2026 Nor’easter — but our crews haven’t stopped.

North, South, East and West, our crews have been on the move.

We’ve recovered vessels that were completely sunk, boats stuck in lifts, vessels washed ashore, and boats displaced by the storm — all while continuing to serve our Sea Tow members with their everyday, “normal” requests for assistance.

The cleanup and recovery efforts continue, and Sea Tow Central New Jersey is here to help.

If your boat sustained storm damage, is sunk, grounded, displaced, or simply needs assistance, give us a call.

Here’s a quick snapshot of just a few of the many vessel recoveries our Sea Tow Central New Jersey crews have completed over the past 2 days.

The recent storm and coastal flooding took a toll on boats throughout our area—vessels breaking free, washing ashore, becoming stranded, and sustaining damage.

If your vessel suffered storm damage or ended up somewhere it shouldn’t be, we’re here to help. Our crews have the equipment and experience to safely recover your vessel and help prevent further damage.

Today, our Sea Tow Central New Jersey crew—Capt. Walt, Deckhand Bill, and Joe—utilized Sea Tow 41 to respond to Long Beach Township for a vessel that had broken free from its lift.

The vessel had drifted and become pinned against the windward side of a neighboring boat lift, causing damage to the lift and another vessel.

Thanks to the quick actions and teamwork of our crew, they were able to safely extricate the adrift vessel and help minimize additional damage to the neighboring lift and boat.

Another example of why having experienced crews ready to respond makes a difference when conditions turn challenging.

Stay tuned for more photos from today’s numerous operations.

⚠️ GOOD MORNING — COASTAL FLOODING SAFETY UPDATE ⚠️

Sea Tow Central New Jersey crews will be out this morning assessing conditions throughout the area.

Please use extreme caution around roads near or leading to marinas, boat ramps, and waterfront areas. Many of these roads may be flooded with SALT WATER, and conditions can be deceiving. Water may be deeper than it appears, and some areas may have moving water.

🚫 TURN AROUND, DON’T DROWN!
Do not attempt to drive through flooded roadways. Salt water can also cause significant damage to your vehicle.

We will attempt to provide photos and condition updates throughout the day as our crews assess the area.

If you need assistance, Sea Tow Central New Jersey is standing by.
