I know the background on these guys but I was wondering if anyone here works or has worked for them. I know they do lots of ocean towing and one-off jobs that the bigger companies down want to mess with. How are they to work for? Do their boats stay busy? Any knowledge on where their pay stacks up? Ill be applying for a mate’s position. Thanks! ---

These are just a couple of threads started about Tradewinds Towing. There are more of them so give it a search. Also, IIRC, a couple of the members that posted about them are still around so you might be able to PM them and ask them in private what they think. I have never worked for them but I did get a chance to talk to a crew member on one of their tugs a while back. Once again, IIRC, I do not remember them saying anything bad about them just that they are a small company and you never knew where you were headed next. ---
