Boatcatch™, conceived and crafted by Greg Staples, an Australian abalone diver, revolutionizes boat launching and retrieval with its unmatched efficiency and safety features. Designed to streamline the process for one or two individuals, Boatcatch™ is acclaimed as the world's sole "Positive Locking" system, setting it apart from conventional hook-based alternatives prone to accidental disengagement.
Crafted from 100% 316 marine grade stainless steel, Boatcatch™ guarantees exceptional durability and resilience, backed by a lifetime warranty. Its sleek, polished finish not only enhances aesthetics but also ensures minimal upkeep, thanks to its simple design comprising just three moving parts.
Installation is straightforward, requiring attachment to the trailer bow post using four bolts and nuts. The universal mounting ‘tube’ can be easily customized to fit various boat and trailer configurations, accommodating everything from small aluminum vessels to larger fiberglass boats or catamarans.
Boatcatch™ is available in two sizes - the smaller variant suits aluminum and light-duty fiberglass boats up to 5.9m long, while the larger model accommodates boats starting from 6m in length, scaling up to a maximum weight of 8 tonnes (see related products for small version).
Every Boatcatch includes a universal mounting bracket, essential hardware, a pull cord, bow eye, and adapters, alongside a comprehensive owner's manual for hassle-free installation by the user. This commitment to ease of use and durability extends to a lifetime warranty, applicable even to commercial operators, ensuring ongoing support and replacement parts for the original purchaser indefinitely.

Usage:
When about to launch, you simply prepare by releasing the winch cable from your boat in the parking lot. After which, reverse the trailer into the water. Boatcatch allows you to move at your own pace (because the boat remains positively locked solid) until you choose to pull the couplings release cord and calmly motor off.
To retreve, position the trailer in the water and when ready, drive your boat in. The Boatcatch has a heavy duty pin that locates inside the eye automatically when retrieving and secures the boat upon the trailer. It’s incredibly strong so you can easily drive your vehicle to the parking lot before having to secure the winch cable.
