A vortex generator for reducing bow waves on a vessel. The vortex generator has a base and an upwardly extending fin. The vortex generator is placed on a vessel, such as a trailer. When the trailer passes another vessel, the vortex generator decreases the bow waves created by the Bernoulli effect. This reduces the vehicles from being pressed toward one another when passing. Further, when the vortex generators are placed atop a trailer, they reduce the impact of crosswinds.
