Dixie Towing LLC

Absolute Unit 💪

A few pictures of a barge shift we completed earlier this year with some tower sections belonging to SpaceX.

Our tug Dixie Trader with captain Pete at the helm safety moved the barge from the NASA terminal on the Banana river to a deep draft ocean tug waiting in Port Canaveral.

The shift was completed singlehandedly after the assist boat from Miami refused to participate. Fortunately our exceptional vessel and crew were up to the task and safely completed the job on schedule.

We are currently in need of Masters and Mates of towing vessels.

Both vessels and crew did a great job maneuvering the barge away from its berth even with adverse currents!

Show me a cleaner tug.

Back to back inspections at the dock today!

Initial COI issuance on the Lindy Lou and second annual inspection on the Atlantic Endeavor.

Since Subchapter M implementation in 2019 our company has experienced a total of 6 Coast Guard inspections of which we have a 100% pass rating with only a handful of minor discrepancies. Local Coast Guard officials have stated our boats are the best in the area in terms of both cleanliness and compliance.

Our continued success comes solely from the professionalism and attention to detail of our experienced crew members. We firmly believe safety and compliance are too important to outsource.

Atlantic Endeavor got a new searchlight!
Not bad for 12v LED

Very convenient having a sister company like St. Johns Boat Company to make these quality modifications possible.
