Launch smarter.
Retrieve safer.

The ultimate launch and retireive boat catch system.
Boatcatch lets you launch and retrieve your boat in seconds safely, single-handed, and without getting wet.

Boat launch and retrieval made efficient and precise

Every boat return demands skill and confidence. Boatcatch transforms complex boat launch and retrieval into a single, smooth motion. Australian engineering meets maritime expertise.

Discover why Boatcatch is the most trustworthy and secure boat to trailer latching system.

How Boatcatch works

Hook on. Drive off.

Boatcatch replaces the dangerous and awkward launch and retrieve process with a simple mechanical latch that connects and releases your boat from the trailer automatically.
Used by thousands of recreational and commercial boaters across Australia.

Launch

Position your boat with precision

Reverse your trailer down the ramp as usual, then guide your boat into position using Boatcatch's wide entry guides.

The system is designed to accept a natural approach angle, so there's no need for the pinpoint accuracy or repeated adjustments that standard winch posts demand.

You stay in the driver's seat or at the bow, never balanced on a wet ramp trying to line up a hook by hand.

Lock

Engage the marine-grade locking mechanism

As your boat's bow eye meets the catch, the 316 marine-grade stainless steel pin engages automatically and locks the boat to the trailer with a positive mechanical connection.

With only three moving parts, there's nothing fiddly to align and almost nothing to maintain.

Once you hear it click home, your boat is secured for the drive home, no rope, no chain, and no second-guessing whether it's actually caught.

Go

Enjoy complete peace of mind on the water

Boatcatch was engineered by boaters who were tired of the danger and hassle of traditional launch and retrieve.

It's now fitted as standard or optional equipment by almost every boat builder across Australia and New Zealand, and backed by a lifetime warranty.

Whether you're solo at the ramp or running a commercial vessel, you can tow, launch and retrieve knowing the connection between boat and trailer has already been proven on thousands of ramps around the country.

I'm onto my 4th boat that is equipped with a Boatcatch. It is the first thing I order without a question for the fit up.

I started using Boatcatch back when they were first invented. To me, there is no other commercial quality system. Boatcatch stands alone.
Steven Cooper

The safety side of Boatcatch is totally undersold. It keeps you away from slippery ramps and the kind of falls that end in a hip replacement. Sensational bit of kit.
Captain Clinton Howe

Most of our boats operate in the Great Southern Ocean, where everything has to be bulletproof. We've never had a single warranty issue with Boatcatch. It has my full recommendation.
Hadley Deegan
Dealer Principle of Deegan Marine
The ramp we launch at has serious surge, which makes it hard to hold the boat on the trailer. With Boatcatch, we're on and out in seconds. This product has been so good I had to get one for the tinny as well. 11 out of 10, I'll never have a boat without one.
Adam Dobson

I know enough about mechanical things and engineering to know these are the Mercedes Benz of Boat catches.
