“Sea Tow has been a long term member of MRAA,” said Kristen Frohnhoefer, President, Sea Tow. “Working closely with marine retailers is critical to our business and we are thrilled to be able to increase our support of MRAA and its members by becoming a Platinum Partner Member.”
In addition to the financial support Sea Tow and the Sea Tow Foundation have made to MRAA, the organization is also offering MRAA Retail Members a series of exclusive benefits. They are guaranteeing wholesale rates on full-year Sea Tow memberships for MRAA Members to be able to include with the sale of a boat making on-water assistance standard for all boat buyers.
