Boat Towing Service Across Ottawa With 24/7 Dispatch
Ontario Towing moves your boat safely from the ramp, storage yard, or roadside to wherever it needs to go. Our team handles boat hauling services across Ottawa with equipment matched to your boat’s size, weight, and trailer type. Call us at any hour, and we dispatch a crew to your location.
When You Need Boat Towing
Boat towing becomes necessary the moment your boat cannot reach its destination on its own. A flat trailer tire, a failed hitch, or a dead engine at the launch can end your day quickly. Seasonal moves matter too, since spring launches and autumn storage runs call for careful road transport.
Call Ontario Towing whenever your boat needs to move, and we plan the safest route for both your boat and trailer.

Why Professional Boat Towing Matters Near Ottawa
Your boat weighs more than it looks, and a poorly secured load puts you and other road users at risk. A trained operator checks the hitch, balances the weight, and plans the route. That care protects your hull and your trailer.
Beware of Cheap Quotes: who advertise low prices but arrive without the right hitch, straps, or insurance. A quote that sounds too good often hides extra fees once your boat is loaded. Ask every company for proof of insurance, the exact price, and the equipment they bring.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. How much does it cost to tow a boat in Ottawa?
Your price depends on four things: distance, boat weight, trailer condition, and pickup time. A short local move costs less than a long haul, and night calls differ from daytime bookings. Call (613) 619-4545 with your details, and we’ll quote the exact price before dispatch.
2. Do you offer 24/7 boat towing in Ottawa?
Yes. Our dispatch line stays open day and night, so a breakdown at 2 a.m. gets the same attention as a booking at noon. Call (613) 619-4545 at any hour, and we send a crew for 24/7 recovery of your boat and trailer.
3. How do I prepare my boat trailer for transport?
Check tire pressure, wheel bearings, lights, and the hitch coupler first. Drain all water from the bilge, tilt the motor up, and strap the hull at the bow and stern. Clear loose gear from the deck so nothing shifts on the road.
4. Do you offer long-distance boat transport from Ottawa?
Yes. We plan long-distance boat transport from Ottawa to marinas, dealers, cottages, and storage yards in other cities. Give us your boat size, trailer type, and destination, and we will confirm the route, timing, and full price before the truck leaves.
5. Can you tow a jet ski?
Yes. Jet ski towing follows the same process as larger boats. We check your trailer, secure the watercraft with proper straps, and move it to your home, marina, or storage site. Tell us the model and trailer type when you call.
6. What is the difference between boat towing and marine towing?
Marine towing moves a boat across water behind another vessel, while boat towing on land uses a tow truck and trailer. Ontario Towing handles the land side, from ramp to roadside to storage yard. For on-water help, call a marina or the Canadian Coast Guard.
7. Do I need a permit to move a wide boat?
Ontario limits the width of loads on public roads, and a boat wider than that limit may need an oversize permit. Tell us your boat’s beam and trailer width when you call, and we advise whether your route requires one.
8. Can you move my boat between a marina and storage?
Yes. Our boat moving services cover marina-to-storage runs, home-to-launch trips, and end-of-season relocations across Ottawa. Choose your date, and we collect the boat, secure it on the trailer, and place it at the new location. Call (613) 619-4545 to book.
9. What happens if my boat trailer breaks down on the road?
Call us right away and keep clear of traffic. We recover the boat and trailer together and tow them to a safe location of your choice. We do not repair trailers on site, so you can arrange repairs once everything is secure.
10. Can you transport a boat from a dealer to my home?
Yes. When you buy from a boat dealer, we collect the boat on the agreed date and deliver it to your driveway, marina, or storage yard. Share the dealer’s address and your delivery location, and we handle the road transport.
11. What information do you need to quote a boat tow?
Give us your boat length, weight, trailer type, pickup address, and destination. Photos of the hull and trailer help, and so does your preferred date. With these details, we quote accurately, avoid surprises on moving day, and tell you about any access limits at pickup.
12. Does my insurance cover boat towing?
Some boat and auto policies cover towing, but limits vary widely. Read your policy or call your insurer before you book, and ask whether it covers road recovery of a trailered boat. We provide an invoice you can submit with your claim.
