The inside scoop on vessel assistance memberships BY APRIL WINSHIP Peace of Mind
M ost of us have encountered boat blunders. From the minor uh-oh moments to those full-on serious boating emergencies, trouble can happen in the blink of an eye, especially when you least expect it. That’s why the first order of business before splashing our trawler Rogue One was to investigate the benefits and costs of vessel assist memberships.

Below is information from both companies regarding crucial questions to help decide whether a vessel assist membership fit our boating needs.
