There is a distinct advantage to an association with a company whose reputation and credibility was developed by serving over three generations of boaters on the Chesapeake Bay. The sound business practices of the Deckelmans continue to translate into reliability, integrity and professionalism, which are the cornerstones of successful marine industry affiliate partnerships. The beauty of working directly with the Deckelman Marine Group is that the needs of boaters on the Chesapeake can be addressed at a local level, through the Bay network itself. It is a unique relationship that continually provides the most comprehensive services to both boaters and businesses who want to affiliate with the best. It is consistent with service.
Deckelman's Marine is not a part time marine towing and salvage company, but a year round, all weather business ready to assist boaters in distress at any time and in any weather, they are well know and respected by all of their contemporaries. They recruited and established their own network of towing Responders to better service the Chesapeake Bay boater. Their recovery and salvage services are sought after by insurance firms for their high degree of seamanship and skills.
In addition to the marine towing and salvage business, Jack and Mort Deckelman own and operate marine facilities on both the western and eastern shores of the Chesapeake Bay. Some of the services they offer are 24hr emergency haul outs, crane & barge equipment, Certified Divers, pile driving, prop reconditioning, extensive boatrepairs, boat transporting, custom boat building and wet and dry storage. The Deckelman Marine Group continues to build solid relationships with some of the most prestigious organizations including C-Port (The National Trade Association for the Marine Industry); and Deckelman towboats are ACAPT certified (Accredited for Commercial Assistance and Professional Towing). Deckelman Marine are current members of the Marine Trades Association of Maryland, the Marine Trades Association of Baltimore County (of which Jack Deckelman serves on the board of directors), and the Maryland Waterman's Association.
Jack Deckelman is one of the founders of the CMTAA (Chesapeake Marine Towing and Assistance Association); a network of commercial tow companies on the Chesapeake Bay, and both are participating members. They maintain affiliations with multiple boat dealerships and marinas, and the countless yacht clubs that have come to trust the Deckelman name. They work very closely with local and federal agencies and do not hesitate to donate their time, tow vessels or expertise to assist when their services are needed in the marine community.
