Boat launching and retrieval redefined.
The water is waiting. Get out there.
The Boat-Launcher by Tectrax™ is the world’s first fully electric, remote-controlled boat launching system. It gives you the freedom and convenience of an amphibious boat, without the need for a new vessel or costly modifications—so you can launch on your own terms: from a ramp, a beach, or straight off your waterfront property. No more wet feet.
For over ten years, we've been building a better way to get on the water. We know the headaches of boat launching—the ramp queues, the tricky terrain, the stress of reversing a trailer. We believe boating should be all adventure and no hassle. Effortless Launching™ is what we do.
That’s why we took our proven amphibious technology and reimagined it for trailers—making boat launching simpler, smarter, and electric.
Engineered for Effortless Boating.
48V Low-Voltage System
Powered with Peace of Mind
We know electricity and water are a concern. That's why we've designed the Boat-Launcher by Tectrax™ with a safe, low-voltage 48V system. Our motors are housed in robust and waterproof aluminium housings, with triple shaft seals and advanced moisture sensing for ultimate peace of mind.
TOTAL CONTROL
Launch and Retrieve from Anywhere
This is about true freedom and convenience. The Boat-Launcher by Tectrax™ is operated by a wireless remote controller that works within a 500m radius, as long as you have a line of sight. This means you can launch and retrieve your boat from on board or on the shore.
compatibility
Your Boat, Your Adventure
The Boat-Launcher by Tectrax™ is designed to work with your boat, not change it. Whether your vessel is 4 m or 10 m+, and weighs anywhere from 500 kg to 7,000 kg+, the Boat-Launcher does it all.
Enjoy all the benefits of an amphibious solution without the cost, complexity, or permanent modifications. Our chassis partners are just as committed as we are to provide the very best Boat-Launcher solution to meet your needs.
DESIGN
Engineered for the Water
We know the marine environment is harsh. That's why our durable, submersible design is built to last. Our wheel hubs have three layers of seals and moisture sensors in each hub to provide an extra level of protection, ensuring the system can handle deeper launches and smoother landings.
LAUNCH Without Limits
No Tow Vehicle Required
Imagine skipping the ramp queues and the stress of reversing. With the Boat-Launcher by Tectrax™, your boat becomes an independent vessel. It’s perfect for waterfront locations or any place where a tow vehicle can’t easily access the water. Keep your vehicle away from the salt water and sand.
