Flagship Towing provides professional hurricane and flood response services throughout the Gulf Coast and Southeast United States. With extensive real world disaster recovery experience, our teams are equipped to respond quickly when severe weather impacts marinas, waterways, coastal communities, and vessel owners.
We specialize in post-storm boat and vessel recovery, helping customers recover their boats after hurricanes, tropical storms, and flooding events. From lifting sunken boats to removing storm-displaced vessels from shorelines and channels, our experienced crews handle vessel recovery, marine salvage, debris removal, and navigational hazard mitigation with precision and safety.
Flagship Towing has supported large scale cleanup and recovery operations following major hurricanes and flooding, assisting boat owners, marinas, municipalities, and insurance providers with rapid storm damage assessment, stranded boat retrieval, and full vessel recovery services.
With specialized marine equipment and seasoned professionals, we maintain the ability to rapidly mobilize storm response and boat recovery teams to Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, and South Carolina when storm response is required.
