Launch & Haul

From spring launch to fall haul-out, Washburn Marina has the equipment, experience, and year-round support to help move your vessel safely and efficiently.

Safe, Efficient Launch & Haul Services

Washburn Marina provides safe, secure, and efficient launch and haul services for recreational and commercial vessels on Lake Superior. With the largest Marine Travelift on Lake Superior, featuring a 150-ton capacity, along with a 30-ton Con-O-Lift yard trailer for cradles and stands, our experienced team has the equipment needed to move and care for a wide range of boats.

From fall haul-out and winter layup to an orderly spring launch, our trained staff handles each vessel with the care it deserves. Quick haul-outs with time to hang are also available throughout the season for service, inspection, or maintenance needs.

Launch for the 2026 season typically begins once the ice is out, usually around the first week of May. Our launch packet is available below as a fillable PDF. For assistance submitting the form, or to schedule launch and haul services, please contact us at 715-373-5050 or boat@washburnmarina.com.
