American Tug is a coastal cruising trawler brand launched around 1999–2000 by Tom Nelson, a former president of Nordic Tugs, working with naval architect Lynn Senour. The brand was built by Tomco Marine Group in La Conner, Washington, and in May 2023 was acquired by the Kadey-Krogen Group of Stuart, Florida. The line focuses on semi-custom trawlers designed for passagemaking and coastal cruising in roughly the 34- to 43-foot range.

American Tug's trawler-heritage design philosophy — full or modified keel, single diesel, and liveaboard-practical accommodations — appeals to buyers prioritizing range, seakeeping, and systems simplicity over speed. Pre-owned American Tug listings on HMY Yachts span the 2001 to 2015 build years across the 34- to 52-foot size range. Key inspection areas include the main engine and transmission service history, generator, watermaker, shore power and electrical systems, bow thruster operation, and interior joinery and soft-goods condition.
