Fees for Service
The boat towing and marine assistance services we provide are available to everyone around the Portland area, on the Columbia and Willamette rivers. We offer a prepaid "Season Pass" to boaters looking for the best value and coverage. For non-Season Pass holders we have fee-per-service rates. As the maritime environment has limitless variables, the pricing below is to serve as a simple guideline. Prices are subject to change, please contact us for a specific estimate for your particular situation. Our "per hour" rate is charged portal to portal, which simply means the clock is running as soon as we leave the dock and stops when we return home.

Generally, if an ungrounding can be accomplished in less than 5 minutes, using one of our boats, it is considered "easy".
Ungroundings requiring more than 5 minutes, but less than 30, using only one boat, are usually considered "moderate".
Ungroundings involving boats stuck on wing-dams, requiring multiple CRMA boats, use of liftbags, winches, or other extraordinary measures which increase risk to our boats and personnel are considered "difficult" and could be a salvage.
The degree of difficulty of a particular ungrounding is always up to the CRMA Captains personal judgement.
