Boat Towing Steveston, Richmond BC
Boat towing in Steveston, Richmond BC moves your boat on its trailer when your own truck can't: between the harbour area, the launch, a repair yard and storage at home. We hitch it, check the lights and straps, and haul it where it needs to go. It's one of the towing services Adam's family runs from No. 1 Road, and you hear the full price on the phone before we hook up.
Boat towing in Steveston, in short
- We hitch and haul boats on their own trailers, priced on the phone by size and distance.
- A boat whose trailer can't roll goes on a deck at our flatbed rate from $125, or the heavy flatbed from $325, first 10 km included.
- Tell us the boat length, the trailer hitch size and where it sits, like a yard off Trites Road or a driveway near Railway Avenue.
Boat towing in a working harbour town
Boats are part of everyday life in Steveston. Fishing families, weekend anglers and people who keep a small cruiser all move trailers between the water and home. Sometimes the tow vehicle is in the shop, the hitch is the wrong size, or the trailer has a bad bearing halfway down No. 1 Road. That's when we come in with a truck that's built to pull, the same way we handle equipment towing for trailers and gear.
If the trailer only has a flat, a mobile tire repair or flat tire change might get you home without a tow at all. If the trailer is done, we can load it on the deck instead. Either way, we tell you what it needs and what it costs before we start.

Boat towing to the Steveston launch and harbour
The Steveston Harbour Authority runs a public boat launch alongside the working harbour, and that's where a lot of our boat calls begin or end. The harbour is busy with commercial boats and gear trucks, so we keep our truck clear of their lanes and get your trailer in and out with as little fuss as we can.
The City lists more spots to fish and get on the water on its fishing piers and boating page, and boat owners from all over Richmond come through Steveston to use them. When a trip ends with a tow, we take the boat home, to a repair yard in the Trites Area, or to storage. A boat that is also hauled out for winter work can go on the flatbed if the trailer can't make the trip.

How we tow a boat through Steveston and Richmond
Before we pull out, we check the coupler, the safety chains, the trailer lights and the bow and transom straps. We take it slow over the speed humps in the village and out along Steveston Highway, and we brake early because a boat on a trailer pushes. If the trip goes past Richmond, it's priced as long distance towing before we leave.
If your truck is the reason the boat is stuck, we can tow that too, with truck towing or heavy duty towing for bigger pickups. Questions before you book? Send us a note with the boat length and a photo of the hitch.
