The three sisters who own and run Grafton Towboat Services

We're a small-town, family-owned marine service at Grafton — groceries from Sinclair's Foods, towboat supplies, and crew change, brought out to your vessel. Our family has worked the river for generations.

We have a deep love and respect for the river, and a real understanding of why it matters.

That's why we answer the phone at odd hours, and why we'd rather tell you we can't make a window than promise one we'll miss.
