Capt. Brendan Bingham is the new owner of TowBoatUS Charlevoix, bringing on-water towing and assistance services to boaters on Michigan’s Lake Charlevoix. A former collegiate bass angler who spent summers on the lake, Bingham is turning his lifelong connection to the area into a business serving local boaters.
TowBoatUS Charlevoix operates a 28-foot Zodiac response vessel staffed by a team of Coast Guard-licensed captains and offers towing, fuel delivery, battery jumps and soft ungroundings. Salvage and boat repair services are also available.
“This lake has always been a big part of my life, and being able to build a career around it is incredibly rewarding,” says Bingham. “We’re ready to serve boaters and be there when they need us most.”
