The boat trailer having an inflatable bladder is a boat trailer with an inflatable bladder located under the rear end of the trailer. The bladder is coupled to an air hose that runs to a hose connecter at the front of the trailer. The bladder is retained in place by a combination of longitudinal and lateral support rails, which are part of the trailer frame and by a bladder barrier that covers the bladder and prevents it from rising above the top of the trailer. If the trailer is backed down the boat ramp and the wheels leave the boat ramp at an end-of-ramp drop-off, a source of compressed air may be used to inflate the bladder. This provides buoyancy to elevate the trailer wheels so that the tow vehicle may pull the trailer up the boat ramp.
