Jeppesen Marine and Sea Tow Join Forces to Provide Members With Enhanced Benefits On and Off the Water

SOUTHOLD, NY and CAPE COD, MA, September 9, 2008 - A joint agreement between Jeppesen Marine's Club Jeppesen Marine and Sea Tow Services International Inc., was announced today, clearing the way for members of both organizations worldwide to enjoy enhanced benefits on and off the water.

Club Jeppesen Marine is a successful global club for owners of Jeppesen Marine's leading C-Map electronic charts, developed to give navigators easy, affordable access to the most up-to-date cartography, along with a host of other benefits. Sea Tow is recognized as the world's leading provider of boater services, delivering not only on-water assistance, but also a variety of important programs to make boating safer and more enjoyable, including: Trailer Care, Sea Insure, Sea Loans, Sea Smart, and the Sea Tow Advantage Network. With 121 locations worldwide and nearly 1,000 captains, crew and support staff standing by 24/7 to assist boaters in need, the Sea Tow name is synonymous with peace of mind.

"Our organizations share important common goals - enhancing security and safety on the water and making boating more enjoyable," said Richard Ellis, Jeppesen Marine's Club director. "By joining forces, we've made it easier and more affordable for boaters to belong to both organizations and enjoy even greater benefits," Ellis added. As part of this agreement, Club members can enjoy a 15 percent discount on any Sea Tow membership option, as well as substantial discounts on insurance through Sea Insure. Boaters who belong to Sea Tow will be provided with a special introductory rate for joining Club Jeppesen Marine ($69 vs. $89), as well as reduced annual dues for as long as they remain members of both programs.

Club Jeppesen Marine gives all owners of C-Map electronic charts a wide range of benefits, including a no-cost annual update to the C-Map chart title of their choice. This updated chart card is sent automatically to members to ensure that sailors, cruisers and sport fishermen always navigate with the most accurate, current chart data possible. This update alone is worth far more than the annual dues, however, Club membership also entitles boaters to discounts on a range of products and accessories like the PC-Planner home voyage planning tool, access to special chart exchange programs, money saving chart rentals for those on one-time cruises, a free one-year subscription to a leading boating magazine, and more.

"This is a win-win situation for members of both our organizations," said Capt. Joseph Frohnhoefer III, vice president of operations, Sea Tow. "We are dedicated to improving personal safety and peace of mind on the water. Through its C-Map electronic charts and unique owner's club, Jeppesen Marine is dedicated to helping boaters navigate safely and efficiently. This arrangement just makes it easier and more cost effective for boaters to enjoy the benefits of both," Frohnhoefer added.
