What is a float-on trailer?

A float-on trailer is designed to allow boats to be floated onto the trailer from the rear. This type of trailer typically has a low profile and features a submerged ramp that facilitates easy loading and unloading of the boat directly onto the trailer while the trailer is partially in the water. The design minimizes stress on the boat and makes the loading process more seamless, especially for larger or heavier boats that can be difficult to maneuver onto a traditional trailer.

By floating the boat onto the trailer, it helps reduce the risk of scraping or damaging the hull during the loading process, which can occur with other types of trailers that require the boat to be lifted onto bunks or rails. The rear-loading design is particularly advantageous in environments like marinas where space may be limited, and quick boat launching and retrieval are necessary.
