Boat Hauling and Towing in Clearwater, Your Boat on Your Trailer

Already on a trailer? We hook up and tow it anywhere in Tampa Bay, same day, 7 days a week.

The problem

On a trailer, going nowhere.

The boat is on its trailer in the driveway, at the dry storage lot, or in the side yard, and it needs to be somewhere else. You do not have a hitch. Or you have a hitch on a car that has no business pulling it. Or the truck that used to tow it is gone.

This is Tampa Bay, so everybody assumes you have a way to move a boat. Then you actually need one and the marina wants a haul-out fee for a boat that is already out of the water. The tow companies want to talk about winches and flatbeds. Your buddy with the F-150 is out of town, and there is a cone in the Gulf with your county in it. Meanwhile the thing is just sitting there, on a perfectly good trailer, needing nothing but a truck and a ball.

How we help We run a cargo van with a tow hitch and ball mount out of Clearwater. If your boat is already on its own trailer, we hook up and tow it. Driveway to dry storage, storage to the ramp, one lot to another, or inland before a storm. Same-day, 7 days a week, fully insured, quoted upfront. What we do not do is supply a trailer, pull your boat out of the water, or splash it. Text Matthew and the person who answers is the person who shows up.

The Doorstep Deliveries van towing a deck boat on its trailer

Here is the honest shape of this: we tow, we do not own a boat trailer. So the boat has to be sitting on its own. If it is, the job is straightforward, and a deck boat with an outboard on an aluminum trailer is exactly the kind of load our van pulls. If the boat is in the water, or the trailer belongs to somebody else, or there is no trailer at all, that is a different service and a different call. Nobody is better off if you find that out when the van pulls up.

What actually gets checked before anything moves is the trailer, because the trailer is the whole job. Coupler seated on the ball and actually latched, with the pin in, not just dropped on and trusted. Tongue weight sitting right, so it is nose-down enough to stay planted instead of sway-happy at 50 on the Courtney Campbell. Safety chains crossed underneath the coupler in an X, which is the part everybody skips, and the reason is simple: if the coupler ever came off the ball the crossed chains cradle the tongue instead of letting it dig into the pavement. Lights plugged in and working, brake and turn both, because a boat trailer blocks every light on the van. Tires and bearings get a look. A boat on a sound trailer is a straightforward tow. A boat on a trailer with bald tires or bearings that have been sitting in salt for three years is not a tow, it is a roadside breakdown with a boat attached, and we will tell you that before we hook up rather than on the shoulder of US 19.

Cargo van with a real tow hitch and ball mount, sized for a deck boat on an aluminum trailer
Coupler seated, latched, and pinned to the ball before anything moves, every time
Safety chains crossed in an X under the coupler so the tongue is cradled if it ever comes off the ball
Trailer lights plugged in and confirmed working, brake and turn, before we pull out
Tongue weight, tires, and bearings checked, and we say something if the trailer is not fit to roll

How it rides

Loaded so it arrives the way it left

Hitch and ball mount on the van, matched to the coupler on your trailer
Coupler latched and pinned, not just set down on the ball and hoped for
Safety chains crossed under the tongue, the way they are supposed to be, not run straight
Trailer lights connected and checked, brake and turn, because the boat hides every light on the van
Tongue weight and straps checked so the load stays planted and does not start swaying at speed

Boat Hauling & Towing questions

Do I need my own trailer?

Yes, and this is the important one. Your boat has to already be on its own trailer. We tow, we do not own a boat trailer and we do not supply one. If it is on a trailer, hooking up and towing it is straightforward. If it is not, this is not the right call, and we would rather tell you now than when we are standing in your driveway.

Can you pull my boat out of the water or launch it for me?

No. No launching, no splash, no hauling it out at the ramp. The boat needs to be out of the water and on its trailer before we arrive. What we do is the road part: driveway to dry storage, storage to the ramp lot, one property to another, or inland when weather is coming.

What size boat can you tow?

It comes down to the trailer and the tongue weight, not muscle, because nothing gets lifted. A deck boat with an outboard on an aluminum trailer is a normal load for us. Text us length, weight if you know it, and a photo, and we will tell you straight whether it is a yes.

What does a boat tow cost?

The flat brackets are $50 up to 5 miles, $75 for 5 to 10 miles, and $120 for 10+ miles, but a boat is oversize, so we quote it upfront instead. You get a real number before the job, never after. No deposit. 10% off your first service on jobs over $100.

There is a storm in the Gulf and I need the boat moved inland today. Can you?

Yes, if it is on its trailer. That is the entire qualifier. We run same-day, 7 days a week, Mon-Fri 6am to 11pm and Sat and Sun 7am to 9pm, and we cover Clearwater, Tampa, St. Petersburg, Largo, Palm Harbor, Safety Harbor, Tarpon Springs, and Lutz. Text early in the week when something is out there, because Island Estates and Ozona and every other waterfront pocket in the county are all calling the same afternoon.
