[ad_1]
Kennedy’s wife, Amber, handles the company’s marketing and office functions, helping to grow the business while the couple’s 8-month-old son, Jordan, is content to watch mom and dad work. The company operates five response vessels, from high-speed Fountains to soft-sided Zodiacs that are easily recognizable by their red hulls with TowBoatUS logo emblazoned in bright white letters on their hull sides. Each boat is rigged for towing, jump-starts, fuel delivery, and soft ungroundings. The company also offers dive and salvage recovery services.
The locations are part of a nationwide fleet of more than 600 response vessels at 300-plus TowBoatUS locations. Last year TowBoatUS responded to more than 70,000 requests for routine on-water assistance.

SANDUSKY, Ohio, June 13, 2019 – Recently named the Best Coastal Small Town by USA Today, Sandusky’s waterfront has long been popular with recreational boaters. With the increased density of boats come more unexpected boat breakdowns that require a tow back to the marina or launch ramp. For 17 years, Capt. James “Jimmer” Kennedy has managed operations for five local 24-hour TowBoatUS on-water assistance ports, ensuring hundreds of boaters got safely home. Now he’s the owner of the local company homeported out of Sandusky with additional TowBoatUS ports in Huron, Cedar Point, Vermilion and Lorain.
