Boat Ramp

We ask that NO LAUNCHES less than a 3' tide - no exceptions.

Be mindful of boat ramp etiquette - respect your fellow boaters and please do not leave your vehicle and trailers unattended on the boat ramp as it will be towed at the owners expense.  

Boat launch is under 24-hour surveillance!

Boaters who fail to pay their launch fee will result of loss launching privileges & photo will be posted on 

the "post of shame". 

WE ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR THE TIDES - DO NOT BLAME OUR STAFF THAT THERE IS NO WATER TO LAUNCH YOUR BOAT!

Ramp fees (all year) $20 for boats 20 feet or longer (no exceptions)

$10 for boats under 20 feet

Credit or debit fees will include taxes

It's very important that you check the tide before you plan your outing!  The interactive tide guide is posted here (below)  

Tide guide for launching can be found at https://www.tide-forecast.com/locations/Point-Atkinson-British-Columbia/tides/latest

Mid grade non-ethanol unleaded marine fuel and marine diesel is available.  

BOAT RAMP ETIQUETTE

One of the more stressful phases of the launching process is backing the trailer down the ramp.  Keeping this in mind we are suggesting a few pointers that will make your experience here a little less stressful.

1.  Prepare your vessel well away from the boat ramp.  Load in any gear you might need as you don't want to make others wait if you have to load at the launch.

2.  Staging Area.  Park well clear of the ramp in an area where you are not blocking traffic.

3.  Launching.  Once you have safely secured your boat to the ramp & at the same time ensuring you have secured your boat furthest away from the ramp to ensure others may proceed with their launching.  Immediately move your vehicle to a parking spot.
