Launching a boat in Florida

Angling Hubs maps 1,606 boat launches in Florida across 775 named waters. 1,365 are public access, and 241 are semi-private, so access may be limited to residents, members or permit holders. Every launch on this page carries its coordinates, so you can route to the ramp rather than to the lake.

Common questions about Florida boat launches

How many public boat launches are there in Florida?
Angling Hubs maps 1,606 boat launches in Florida across 775 named waters. 1,365 are public access and 241 are semi-private, meaning access may be limited to residents, members or permit holders.
Which waters in Florida have the most boat launches?
By mapped launch count: Suwannee River (51), St. Johns River (47), Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway (43), Indian River Lagoon (33) and Lake Okeechobee (22). Counts are the number of separate ramps on each water, not the number of lanes.
Is there a fee to use boat launches in Florida?
Launch fees are set by whoever manages the ramp, and Angling Hubs does not hold fee data for Florida yet, so check the managing agency or marina before you tow. Ramps marked semi-private may also require a permit or membership.

Launch data from the USGS National Boat Ramps dataset, released into the public domain (CC0). Confirm ramp conditions, fees, and seasonal access locally before you launch.
