General Boat Launch information
You may launch a boat for free at a Collier County boat ramp if you have a launch permit. Permits may be purchased for $120/calendar year, with the permit price being prorated according to the month of purchase. If you don’t have a permit, the cost to launch is $3/vessel.
Collier County boat ramp launch permits may be purchased at Naples City Hall (735 8th St S, Naples, FL, 34103, 239 213-1819) or at various community parks (call 239 353-0404 to find a community park close to you.
The City of Naples has one boat launch at Naples Landing (see below, or see map). A Collier County boat launch permit will not be honored at Naples Landing, as this boat launch is maintained by the City of Naples, not Collier County.
A permit for the City of Naples boat launch may be purchased for $120/calendar year, with the permit price being prorated according to the month of purchase. If you don’t have a permit to launch at Naples Landing, you may still launch your vessel, but you’ll have to pay for parking at a metered space at a cost of 75 cents/hour.
The list below includes State, County, City of Naples marinas, and some other area marinas.
