A single couple populates the beach, shaded by a Norfolk pine. She leans over to say something to her partner every once in a while. Moments later he answers her.

C-Tow is a Canadian company that’s been serving the Canadian boater since 1984. Its moniker of “Peace of Mind boating” has been reinforced again with the development of a new great app that in its wonderful functionality has truly filled a huge void.
