Founded in 2005, by second generation tugboaters Dominique and Rachel Smith. Who were raised and homeschooled on an ocean-going tugboat by their parents Latham and Elsbeth Smith.

The Smith family and two crew members lived and worked on board, and the tug traveled along the East Coast and Bahamas taking tows of opportunity and occasionally rescuing disabled ships at sea.

Over time, Latham Smith constructed a larger tug and the younger of the now five Smith children were raised on board the tug which traveled to Africa, Europe and South America.

Dominique Smith and Rachel Smith eventually served tenure as Operations Manager for their father Latham Smith. Which presented the opportunity to work together.

In 2005, after gaining years of further experience working for other maritime transportation companies. Dominique and Rachel Smith acquired the tug Miss Lis and formed the Tradewinds Towing Company.

In 2010, Tradewinds Towing acquired their second tug and subsequently grew the fleet to its current seven tugboats of varying horsepower and abilities, to provide a diverse range of towing services.
