ABOUT US

At Captain Dave's Marine Services our mission is to provide professional, safe boat towing and salvage services to the boating public and provide charter boat services utilizing experienced U.S. Coast Guard Certified Vessel Master Captains. The company is so divided to address both the tow boat business during the summer months coupled with Day or Night charter and tour boat trips. Other services include state certified safe boating and handling classes, on the water training classes, preventative maintenance and spouse/passenger general familiarization classes. Charter services are varied and can be tailored to both the resident and the vacationer, groups and parties. We believe that by utilizing a good work ethic and being a consistent service provider on Lake Whitney our services are well known to the boating public on Lake Whitney along with many State Agencies to include the Corps of Engineers, Local Fire Departments and the four County Sheriff's departments that encompass the Lake. Our Towing/Salvage services and Charter/Tour Boat services are geared to both the resident and vacationing boaters on Lake Whitney. In support of our community we also provide free assistance to State and County agencies in time of emergencies.
