When your boat or trailer cannot make the trip, Towstar Towing and Recovery™ can help move it by road. Our specialty towing services support local pickups, marina moves, repair shop deliveries, and storage transfers in Port Moody BC. We plan for the boat, trailer, access, and route, then give clear updates from dispatch to drop-off.
A failed tire, hot wheel bearing, broken spring, or tow vehicle problem can stop a boat trip fast. Call Towstar Towing and Recovery™ and share your location, boat length, trailer axle count, and the problem you see. We can arrange trailer towing help near Barnet Highway, Moody Centre, Rocky Point Park, or another safe pickup point.
Boat transport needs more than a quick hook. The driver must check weight, trailer condition, hitch access, clearance, straps, and the safest loading angle. When the trailer cannot roll well, flatbed towing service may be the better choice. Our team explains the plan before work starts and keeps the hull, motor, frame, and road users in mind.

We move boats between homes, storage yards, repair shops, and marina areas when road access allows. Routes near Reed Point Marina, Ioco Road, St. Johns Street, and the Burrard Inlet waterfront can have tight turns or busy traffic. For heavier support gear, our equipment towing team can help plan the truck, loading space, and delivery approach before pickup.
Towstar Towing and Recovery™ focuses on calm service, careful handling, and useful updates. We ask clear questions so the arriving truck matches the boat and trailer. Larger combinations may need heavy duty towing support, while smaller units may use another setup. You receive a practical plan for access, loading, route choice, and final placement at the requested destination.
Boat towing cost depends on the pickup point, travel distance, total size, trailer condition, access, time, and equipment needed. A short local move may need a different plan than long distance hauling. For a useful quote, share photos when possible and tell us the boat length, trailer type, axle count, destination, and whether the wheels can roll safely.
First, tell us where the boat is, where it must go, and what stopped the trip. Second, we review size, weight, access, and trailer details, then choose a suitable truck. Our truck towing service can support larger road moves when required. Third, the driver loads or connects carefully, confirms securement, and provides updates until delivery is complete.

Before pickup, check whether the trailer can roll, steer, and stop without making damage worse. Tell dispatch about a flat tire, seized hub, broken axle, loose boat, or damaged tongue. Similar planning is used for RV towing services, where length, weight, and axle condition affect the setup. Do not move the unit into traffic when it is unsafe.
Remove loose gear, close compartments, secure the motor as the maker directs, and note any cover or tower that may catch wind. Tell us about low parts, special bunks, or hull damage before loading. The same careful securement used for motorcycle towing helps guide a controlled transport plan. Keep keys, registration details, and destination contact information ready.
A safe pickup area should have firm ground, enough room for the truck, and space away from fast traffic. At the destination, confirm gate width, turning room, hours, and where the boat should be placed. If wheel movement is limited, dolly towing options may be reviewed. Clear access saves time and helps the driver protect nearby vehicles and property.
For a longer move, ask the repair shop, marina, or storage yard when they can receive the boat. Confirm the trailer plate, lights, tires, and load details before the trip. Transport Canada’s trailer light guide explains federal lighting locations for trailers. Towstar can then plan the route, timing, securement checks, and delivery contact. We also confirm who will meet the driver.
Call with the boat length, trailer type, axle count, pickup address, destination, and a simple description of the problem. Photos can help us understand access and visible damage. We serve boat owners across Moody Centre, Inlet Centre, College Park, Heritage Woods, and nearby areas. Towstar Towing and Recovery™ will explain the next step, expected equipment, and quote details before dispatch is confirmed.
Yes, but the correct method depends on the tire, wheel, axle, trailer weight, and available space. Do not keep pulling the trailer if the wheel is damaged or the hub is hot. Call from a safe place and describe what happened. Photos of the wheel, axle, boat, and road position can help Towstar choose suitable equipment before arrival.
Price depends on distance, boat and trailer size, access, time, trailer condition, and the truck or recovery gear needed. For general pricing factors, read our complete towing guide. For an accurate quote, provide the pickup and drop-off addresses, boat length, axle count, photos, and details about whether the trailer can roll. before the truck is sent.
Yes, we can plan road transport between a marina area, home, storage yard, dealer, or repair shop when access and equipment needs are suitable. Please confirm that the receiving site is open and has room for delivery. Share gate codes, contact names, turning limits, and boat or trailer concerns so the driver can plan the pickup and final placement.
We need your exact location, safe contact point, destination, boat length, trailer type, axle count, estimated weight if known, and the reason it cannot move. Tell us about flat tires, locked brakes, bearing heat, broken parts, low clearance, steep driveways, or tight gates. Clear photos help us match the truck and reduce delays at pickup.
