Sea Tow Northern New Jersey Franchise Changes Ownership with Veteran Captain at Helm
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 the region's boating community.
Sea Tow Northern New Jersey, the premium on-water assistance provider serving the Sandy Hook and Metro New York areas since 1987, has transitioned to new ownership under Captain Mike Dudzinski. The ownership change represents a strategic shift for the franchise that reaches as far north as the George Washington Bridge and maintains its fleet at Bakers Marina on the Bay for optimal service coverage.
Captain Dudzinski brings over 40 years of marine industry experience to his new role, including background as a charter captain, marina employee and investor, and marine electronics installation expert. His lifelong experience as a boat owner provides unique insight into the needs of the local boating community that the franchise serves.
The transition ensures continuity of the exceptional service standards that Northern New Jersey boaters have come to expect. Sea Tow President Kristen Frohnhoefer expressed confidence that boaters will continue to receive the same reliable on-water assistance they've depended on for years. The franchise's membership benefits remain unchanged, offering unlimited boat towing with no distance or dollar limits in a member's home area, along with fuel delivery, jump starts, covered ungroundings, and scheduled dock-to-dock towing coverage.
Members continue to receive priority service over non-members 24/7, while additional marine services including salvage and recovery remain available outside of membership. The Sea Tow organization, which has been the premier leader of on-water assistance for over 40 years, maintains its commitment to providing Coast Guard-Licensed Captain assistance through its network of franchisees.
