REAL-TIME MONITORING
ADVAnced tow protection system
TowPro continuously monitors tenders & chase boats using VHF and Iridium satellites to reduce potential loss and damage of vessels under tow.
“TOWPRO SIGNIFICANTLY REDUCEs THE CONCERNS OF OWNERS, CAPTAINS AND INSURERS ALIKE”

Director of Underwriting, Millstream
ACTIVE MONITORING
Real-time data is transmitted via VHF and Iridium to the main monitoring system on the mothership, allowing yacht owners and crew to receive alerts and take immediate action if abnormal activity or potential issues are detected.
TOW STABILITY
Measures key parameters such as the angle of the tow, speed, and motion dynamics of vessels under tow.
BATTERY HEALTH
Measures battery impedance to better understand the internal resistance, which provides a status of overall health.
TENDER STABILITY
Using accelerometers and other sensors to monitor the tender's movement and orientation when under tow.
BILGE PUMPS
Sensors to detect when the bilge pump is activated, how often it runs, and whether it's effectively managing water ingress.
ENDORSED BY captains
“We also include TowPro’s credentials in our YouTube videos. Beyond promotional support, Captain Paul is a big advocate for the system and consistently recommends it when asked for advice by other Captains”.
ENDORSED BY INSURERS
At Pantaenius, the Yacht owner benefits from having a towing system fitted, as we offer a lower deductible when towing in excess of 90 nautical miles if a towing system is fitted as well as excluding towing at night totally, if no system in place.
