Trinity Tugs has evolved over six decades of continual vessel ownership. It all began in January 1963 when Huey L. Cheramie purchased a tugboat, which he captained. Huey L’s son, Huey J., joined his father ten years later in December of 1973, upon receiving his USCG license. He then followed in his father’s footsteps and served as a captain on the tugs. They together navigated the company through the economic storms of the 1980’s. Huey J became president in 1981 and then became the owner in 1987 upon the untimely death of his father Huey L. The 1990’s brought better times to the company, and it saw continuous growth over the years with an impressive fleet of 19 tugs. These tugs navigated the Gulf of Mexico, Caribbean, West Indies, the Eastern Seaboard and on all the inland waterway systems of the United States.

Today Trinity Tugs has the roots and the stability of an “old” company, with a new approach. Trinity Tugs, owned by Huey J. Cheramie and Dustin M. Tregre, brings to the table decades of pristine customer service, and the best mariners in the business. Dustin Tregre, brings with him his expertise in Operations and Vessel Maintenance. At Trinity we are in a position for continued growth over the coming years with new equipment and upcoming new mariners trained by the best in the business, some of which, have been with our team for over 40 years.

The Trinity fleet is electronically and technologically advanced to serve our clients’ needs better and all our Tugs are USCG Subchapter M certified.
