Why It Helps
Boat towing requires more than just a trailer — it needs the right transport setup, local know-how and a careful approach. We’ve towed boats to and from ramps, marinas, workshops and storage yards throughout Townsville and along the Queensland coast. Our tilt tray allows easy loading of trailer boats and ensures smooth transport even over longer distances. We work around tidal times, ramp access and other logistics to make the move simple and safe. Whether you’re buying, selling, servicing or relocating, we handle the towing so you can focus on the water. It’s marine transport made easy.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can you tow my boat if it’s already on a trailer?
Yes, we regularly transport boats that are already on their trailers. Our tilt tray setup allows us to load the boat and trailer as one unit, keeping everything secure. We make sure the trailer is in good condition and safe to move before transport. If you're unsure, we can inspect it on arrival and advise you on the best course of action.
Do you tow boats from boat ramps?
Absolutely. We can collect boats from ramps and deliver them to marinas, yards or your home. We’re familiar with local ramps around Townsville and plan our timing to suit tides and access. Let us know if there are any special conditions or timeframes and we’ll take care of the rest. We aim to make pick-up and drop-off as easy and smooth as possible.
What size boats can you tow?
We typically transport trailer boats up to 7.5 metres in length, depending on weight and trailer setup. Before booking, we’ll ask for the boat’s dimensions and trailer details so we can confirm everything is within safe limits. If your vessel is on the larger side, we’ll discuss options and may recommend specific handling or timing. We’re here to move it safely and efficiently.
