From FAQ

"Call the local number printed on your membership card or hail them on VHF channel 16. Alternately, you can contact our 24/7 Customer Care Center at 800-4-SEATOW (473-2869) and they will transfer you to your local Sea Tow."

I was asking for monitoring purposes, do they have a home marine channel.

Most likely they don't have a VHF marine channel they use.

Many of their COMMS would be mainly via cell phones, as most calls from pleasure boaters came in this way these days.

If anything maybe would start off on channel 16 and switch off to a working channel.

You would have to search during the busy boating season of the VHF marine band. Also it would be good to do this search during the early part of the boating season, since many boats have mechanical issues the first time in the season. Also try late in day or evening with many boats not running after a day spent at anchor.

This time of year they are super slow.

After listening on a busy weekend day, you will easily figure out which channel they switch to for Dispatch to Vessel coordination as well as what they will use as their primary Ops

Boat US in northern Ocean County are on VHF marine radio CH 5 for their daily ops. Its quiet this time of year, in the summer, its non stop.

In Cape May they hail on 16 and then they switch to VHF 18., It depends on the area
