Is it required that one own a boat to sign up for the Tow Boat USA
insurance?

it's actually not a dumb question.

If you charter or go out with friends regularly, you might want to join
BOAT/U.S. to get the towing service. I probably wouldn't, but it (like
any sort of insurance/shared cost agreement) might make you feel better.

The charter companies out here, and I would suspect elsewhere, have
this coverage. Even the non-profit I'm involved with has it. We ask
the skipper to pay the cost when it happens, then we reimburse.
