It is a public ramp and it is free to all until the end of 2008.

Then.........................

-- A $5 daily boat launch fee, an annual $25 boat launch pass and a $75 annual pass for non-city residents. Currently, it's free to use the city's four boat ramps. Boat ramp fees take effect Jan. 1, 2009.

If memory serves, there is also a small ramp and park just behind the Whataburger at the intersection of Yacht Club Drive and Rte. 85 (Eglin Pkwy). Not many people know about this little spot so keep it to yourself, eh??? :doh

Sanders Beach just outside the mouth of bayou chico is a free public (city owned) boat ramp.

It is still very shallow even though they dredged it this year. So you may want to check the tides before launching if your boat draws any water.

A fee is not an issue. Just want to make sure that it's not a private ramp of sorts. I want to put in there this morning.
