Shelter Cove Fishing Preservation Inc provides tractor service to launch trailer boats at our Shelter Cove boat ramp. We would be happy to Launch and retrieve you any day of the week!
The self-launch of boats is allowed at the public use boat ramp. However, there are challenges with this.
Due to the low slope at the ramp area, and the ever changing tides, simple back-up launches with a car or truck is not usually possible, especially with larger boats.
More information about the boat ramp with lots of pictures can be found at the Shelter Cove Boat Ramp Page here.
We also provide monthly boat storage with water hook-ups.
