ABOUT THE COMPANY
About Us
Builder of Highly Versatile Crossover Skiffs for Anglers and Hunters.
How it began...
Towee was founded by Todd Gregory, who spent nearly 20 years working with engineers, fishing guides, and industry professionals to refine Towee boats into the versatile and durable skiffs we know today.
While pursuing his passion for fishing from his native Tennessee to South Florida, Todd eventually made the full-time move to the Florida Keys, where he guided throughout the Keys and Everglades National Park.
It was during those years on the water that Todd recognized the need for a skiff that didn't yet exist—a small, extremely maneuverable boat that could be poled silently across the flats, yet was durable enough to handle jet boat duty. It needed to be no more than 52 inches wide while remaining exceptionally stable. It needed to row well, handle big-water chop, and be versatile enough to travel from Idaho to Key West while confidently handling virtually every type of water in between.
In 2009, Todd began working with master boatbuilder Chuck Davis and his family to turn that vision into reality. The result was the original Towee Rivermaster, the predecessor to today's Calusa Pro and Sherpa.
The first production skiffs were built in 2010. Since then, hundreds of demanding owners have turned to Towee to build custom skiffs around the way they fish, hunt, and explore.
The Next Chapter
Today, Towee is entering its next chapter under the ownership of Zach Steele.
Zach brings his own experience as a fishing guide and lifelong waterman to Towee. His guiding experience has taken him to some of the most remote and demanding fisheries in the world, including the remote waters of Southwest Alaska and Argentine Patagonia.
Those experiences have shaped the way he looks at boats. In remote environments, a boat isn't simply a way to get from one fishing spot to another. It is an essential part of the experience—and reliability, maneuverability, stability, and versatility can make all the difference.
Zach understands firsthand what it means to depend on a boat in places where there is no easy backup plan. Whether navigating shallow water, rowing into changing conditions, running rough water, or quietly positioning for a fish, the boat has to perform when it matters. That experience is now being brought to Towee.
The goal is simple: build on what Todd started without losing what made Towee special in the first place. The same attention to detail, functional design, and one-at-a-time craftsmanship will continue, while we look for new ways to make Towee skiffs even better for the anglers, guides, and hunters who depend on them.
Todd's original vision remains at the heart of every Towee. Each skiff is still built one at a time by a team of master boatbuilders who are also passionate watermen. Our boats are used by professional guides and hard-core anglers and hunters from Alaska to Key West and from Canada to Costa Rica.
Towee was born from a guide's need for a better boat. Today, that tradition continues with another guide at the helm.
The design may have started with one man's vision, but Towee has always been about the people who use these boats on the water. Our next chapter is about carrying that vision forward.
