Boat Transportation Service

Why Action Towing is the Captain's Choice for Transport

Marine-Specific Rigging & Soft Straps:

We exclusively use marine-grade high-tension soft straps and padded cradles to secure your boat. This prevents gelcoat scratches, stress cracks, and structural pressure, ensuring your hull remains as smooth as the day it was molded while we navigate the highway.
Specialized Boat Hauling Fleet:

Our fleet features specialized flatbeds and “low-boy” trailers designed to carry boats of all shapes and sizes. Whether we are towing your existing trailer or “up-decking” the entire vessel onto our equipment, we ensure a stable, low-center-of-gravity ride.
Wide-Load & Oversized Expertise:

We handle the logistics for oversized loads, including route planning to avoid low bridges and coordinating necessary permits. We make sure your wide-load transport is 100% legal and safe across all provincial borders.
24/7 Professional Marine Recovery:

Did a wheel bearing seize on your boat trailer mid-trip? Or perhaps you found yourself in a “tight spot” at a steep boat launch? Our boat hauling Edmonton team is available 24/7 for emergency recoveries.
Inter-Provincial & Northern Reach:

We don't just stay in the city. Action Towing is authorized for long-distance boat transport across Alberta, British Columbia, Saskatchewan, and even into the Yukon and Northwest Territories. From the BC coast to the lakes of the North, we have the permits and the power to move your boat across Western Canada.

What's Included in Our Boat Transportation

We provide a “white-glove” service from the marina to your door.

Pre-Transport Hull Inspection:

We perform a detailed digital condition report before loading to ensure total transparency and peace of mind.
Trailer Maintenance & Safety Check:

If we are towing your trailer, we check tire pressure, lighting, and bearings to ensure a safe, breakdown-free journey.
Specialized Winching & Loading:

Our industrial winches provide a smooth, controlled pull to load boats onto our trailers without stressing the bow eye.
Road Debris & Rock Protection:

We utilize specialized mudguards and placement strategies to protect your boat's finish from highway rocks and salt.
Precise Placement & Leveling:

We don't just “drop and go.” We ensure your boat or trailer is placed exactly where you need it, leveled and secured.

Boat Transportation Questions Edmonton Owners Often Ask

Everything you need to know about getting your boat on the road.

Yes! We have specialized flatbeds and trailers equipped with adjustable bunks and cradles. We can winch your boat directly onto our equipment from the water (at most docks) or from blocks in your yard, providing a safe and secure ride even without its own wheels.

For the safest journey, we recommend removing or securing all loose items like cushions, life jackets, and covers. It's also important to drain any livewells or bilges and lower any antennas or towers to ensure we stay within legal height limits for the highway.

We can handle a wide range of vessels. For very large boats (typically over 8.5 feet wide or 13.5 feet tall when loaded), we will need to coordinate special permits and route planning. Give us a call with your boat's dimensions, and we'll provide a custom logistics plan.

Absolutely. Action Towing carries premium cargo insurance that specifically covers marine transport. From the moment we secure the first strap until the boat is unhooked at the destination, your investment is fully protected against transit damage.

The cost depends on the size of the boat, the distance of the trip, and whether we are using your trailer or ours. We provide transparent, upfront quotes. For long-distance moves to places like BC or the Yukon, we provide a flat-rate quote that includes all fuel and permits.

Depending on the ramp conditions and the type of equipment we are using, we can often assist with launching your boat at a marina or public launch. Let us know your specific needs when you call so we can send a unit that is best suited for “ramp-to-road” transitions.
