Boat Towing Service

At Nationwide Towing & Transport, we have been providing professional boat towing services for many years. Transporting boats requires specialised equipment, proper load management, and experienced operators to ensure vessels are moved safely.

Boats are often transported using trailers or tilt tray vehicles. Our operators carefully assess the trailer configuration, vessel size, and transport route before towing begins. This ensures the safest towing setup and helps prevent damage during transport.

Boat owners, marine dealerships, hire companies, and commercial operators rely on Nationwide when they need a trusted boat trailer towing service. Whether you are relocating a boat, sending it for repairs, or delivering a vessel to a buyer, we coordinate the entire transport process.

What types of boats can we tow and transport?

Nationwide’s fleet of specialised tow trucks allows us to transport a wide range of boats and marine craft safely. From smaller recreational boats to larger vessels, our operators select the right towing solution based on vessel size and trailer configuration.

We regularly transport:

  • Jet skis and personal watercraft
  • Wave runners
  • Tinnies and aluminium fishing boats
  • Speedboats and ski boats
  • Trailer sailors
  • Motorboats
  • Yachts and houseboats
  • Boat trailers and jet ski trailers

If your boat is already mounted on a trailer, our team will check the trailer setup and towing equipment before transport begins. For larger vessels or specialist transport needs, we can arrange the most suitable towing method.

Harmit was absolutely incredible. My tyre completely popped and I was just expecting to get towed however Harmit took the time to willingly change the tyre no matter how long it took. Then my car battery died and RACV were on the way, I was in the middle of a busy highway in the middle of the night, in pitch black, Harmit stayed with me until RACV arrived ensuring I was safe. Harmit, you were amazing and I thank you for your dedication, hard work and time to stay with me. ☺️

Awesome experience getting car towed home through RACV. Broke down at 3am in the cbd and truck arrived in a half hour. Driver Joth was super friendly and had no out of pocket cost. Sounds like a great company to work for also.

My motorcycle battery decided to cease working a long way from home and I am a Total Care member with RACV. I rang for assistance and a tow truck was allocated from Nationwide Towing. My saviour, Tony Eid (Fleet # 3359) arrived 30 minutes later and he proceeded to put my mind at ease with his knowledge and professionalism with securing and transporting my motorcycle. He treated my bike as if it was his own and he was very respectful of me being a female motorcyclist. I could not have asked for a better experience given the circumstances. My bike arrived home from its long journey without having moved an inch from its resting spot on the back of the truck, even through some of the dodgiest, bumpy highways and roads on the way home. I can't thank Tony enough for saving me and my bike.
