The man, believed to be from the south west, was lost when the tug sank in rough seas about 45 miles off the Lizard on Monday at about 06:45 BST.
Two of the three crew were airlifted from a life raft to a French hospital.
The vessel, believed to be British registered, was on its way from La Coruna in northern Spain to Plymouth.
