Yes, in most cases. The boat stays on a roadworthy trailer and the rig hauls the whole package to its destination. If the trailer has a failed axle, broken bearings or a damaged frame, the boat may need to be lifted off first, the operator confirms the right approach when the call comes in.

Boat Types & Trailer Specs
Pontoons, Sailboats, Fishing Rigs & Ski Boat Towing.
Laval's waterfront draws ski boats, fishing platforms, pontoons and sailboats ranging from 20 to 27 feet. Ski boats weigh 3,000 to 6,000 lbs without a trailer; fishing boats land between 2,000 and 8,000 lbs; pontoons with multiple tubes run 4,000 to 10,000 lbs. Sailboats up to 27 feet can exceed 8,000 lbs once rigging is factored in. Each hull type presents towing challenges: pontoons have a wide footprint, sailboats demand lowered masts, jet-drive boats need intake ports kept clear.
Trailers come in single-axle (up to 6,000 lbs) and tandem-axle (heavier loads, flatter ride) configurations. Roller trailers differ from bunk trailers in how they grip the hull, and sailboat carts add specialized handling that requires Laval wrecker operators trained in marine recovery. The tow rig must match the trailer type and boat weight, not the reverse. When you call, share the boat length, type, and trailer axle count so the right heavy-duty tow truck rolls. Laval Tow Truck confirms all specs before routing.
Boat Tow Workflow
From Launch to Destination: Laval Boat Towing in 4 Phases.
-
Prepare the boat
Strap the hull to the trailer, seal and vent the fuel tank, lower any sailboat mast, and verify bunks or rollers hold the boat level.
-
Phone in the details
Tell the operator the launch or marina name, boat type and length, trailer axle count, and what failed (bearing, axle, tongue jack, hitch).
-
Get a route and rate
The operator maps the pull, quotes the cost, and gives an arrival window. Peak season lake runs may add time.
-
Tow and deliver
The winch-equipped rig extracts the trailer, manages tongue weight balance, and hauls to a repair shop, storage yard, or private property.
Laval Lake Corridor
Marina & Ramp Recovery Across Laval Boat Towing Territory.
Laval's lake recreation zones see steady weekend traffic, especially in summer. Each launch ramp has its own wear pattern on trailer bearings, tongue jacks, and hitch hardware. Hot pavement and repeated launch cycles in July and August spike axle-failure calls. Cross-region hauls between Terrebonne lake sites and Laval storage yards happen regularly in shoulder season.
Off-season moves run October through March when boats shift from launches to covered storage or private acreage. Freeze-thaw cycles can trap a trailer at a storage lot until a heavy-duty winch pulls it free. Base hook-up fees run $80 to $150, plus $3 to $6 per kilometre, with ramp-side winching and marina paperwork at the higher end. For longer hauls to remote lakes or rural marinas, ask about Laval long-distance boat moves. Winch recovery service handles stuck trailers at any ramp.

Laval Boat Towing Questions & Answers.
Boat-on-trailer hauls, stuck trailers at the ramp, sailboat mast clearance, marine fuel rules, and seasonal marina-to-storage moves.
Stuck trailers at lake launches need a winch-equipped wrecker that can pull the rig free without bending the frame. Laval Tow Truck routes a heavy-duty operator with the right cable rating and ramp experience.
No. Lower or remove the mast before the tow rig arrives. A raised mast adds height that catches power lines, sign gantries and bridge underpasses. If the mast is stuck, the operator can recommend a marine rigger before transport.
Yes. Confirm the fuel cap is sealed and the tank is properly vented before transport. A full tank shifts trailer balance and adds weight, so partial fuel is preferred on long hauls. If fuel is leaking, do not move the boat, call (613) 324-9141 immediately.
Yes. Laval Tow Truck handles seasonal hauls from marinas and lake launches to winter storage yards or private properties. Bring authorization from the marina office so the operator can release the trailer on arrival. Pricing typically runs $80 to $150 hook-up plus $3 to $6 per kilometre.

Sailboat tow required a lowered mast and careful tongue weight management. The driver knew exactly what to ask for and the haul was uneventful.
