Burlington Harbor Launch and Tow

                                           ​Our Boats

Little "Belle" is an 1976 Angler 18' with a 90 hp Yamaha Outboard and tow bar.  We found "Belle" in the back of an old abandoned power plant.  It took a winter of grinding, painting, wiring, and working out the engine before we got her in the water.  HL&T uses "Belle" for small vessel tows, refuels, jumpstarts, and of course harbor cruising.

Big "MAE" is a 1999 C-Hawk 22' with a 175 hp Yamaha Outboard and a robust towing bar.  Last fall HL&T decided to add another purpose towing boat to the operation.  We were lucky to find this one out in St. Johnsbury for a reasonable price.  It took a winter of grinding, wiring, and set up work to get the boat going, but we are happy to have this one as part of the 2021 fleet. The boat is set up with a lifting bag system for hard grounding and submerged salvages, diving support equipment, and a bow lifting crane for light duty Marine work.  We will be using "MAE" for long distance and rapid response towing all over Lake Champlain this season.

"Rachel Z" is a 2005 Penga 26' with a 125 hp Cummins/Merc inboard/outboard motor.  HL&T has had the pleasure to have this boat as a part of the operations since the start of our operations in 2019.  We have worked in partnership with the Lake Champlain Community Sailing Center to have this boat as part of our operations and we couldn't be happier with it.  We use the "Rachel Z" for long distance and large vessel towing.

"We don't like to hear about breakdowns on the water, but HL&T is here to help you when you need assistance."

                               Marine Operations are in service from April 1 - November 30 every season  

HL&T has put the boats away for the season.  2021 was a great year on the water and we met and helped plenty of people out there on the water.  We wanted to take a second to thank all of our customers, whether you needed emergency services or prescheduled work, we really appreciate the business.  And as for all our friends in the Marine Service business that sent us customers and helped spread the positivity about HL&T, many many thanks.  We are a locally owned and operated business and really appreciate the support in the local community.  

HL&T is operating on a year around basis with some services suspended until we can put the boats back in the water.  If you are in need of Marine Services. please don't hesitate to give us a call.  We will resume full operations on April 10th as soon as the boats go back in the water.  Looking forward to seeing everyone out there in the 2022 season.  Until then, enjoy and enjoy some more whatever it is you do in the winter months.

​        Stay tuned for some new services and maybe even some new additions to the fleet and staff in the 2022 season.
