Commercial Assistance Towing Endorsement

This 4-hour course enables the mariner to tow recreational vessels commercially. You may not accept any remuneration of any kind for towing a vessel unless you have an assistance towing endorsement on your license. This is an endorsement for OUPV or Master level licenses.

Topics include: Rules of the Road concerning towing vessels, towing gear & terminology, shiphandling with regards to towing, towing procedures, etc.

Upon completion of the course, students take a USCG-approved exam right here at AMA. A certificate of completion will be given if the student successfully passes the exam. The student can then submit that certificate as an endorsement to their license.

Please call if you have any questions regarding license requirements.

See course schedules and cost for more information.
