A boat or dinghy launching trolley has a frame or chassis 1 and a plurality of wheels 2. A series of bilge supports 3 are positioned to locate a hull of a boat located on the trailer, the supports may be adjustable. A demountable keel support (Fig 3, 5) may be used. The trailer has sufficient buoyancy to float with the top of its frame at water level allowing it and the boat to be aligned whilst both are in the water. The boat may be secured to the trailer using cleats or battens. The drawbar (Fig 4, 4) may be extendable and it and the demountable keel support may be removed and swap positions. The trolley and boat may be winched onto an existing general purpose trailer 8 using ramps 9. Alternatively the trolley may have demountable road suspension and road wheels, (Figures 4 and 5, 10 and 11) in addition to the smaller trolley wheels 2 allowing the trolley to be used on the road / highway.
