Boat Ramps in the Florida Keys, Florida

Boating in the Florida Keys

The Florida Keys stretch from the Upper Keys through the Middle and Lower Keys, with boating access to Florida Bay, the Gulf side of the islands, and the Atlantic. Public ramps are spread along the island chain, so the best launch point often depends on where you plan to boat and which side of the Keys you want to reach.

The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission maintains boating and angling guides specifically for the Upper, Middle, and Lower Keys. Ramp facilities vary considerably: some launches offer docks, parking, restrooms, or multiple lanes, while smaller neighborhood ramps may have limited parking or shallow-water access. Use the ramp details and map below to inspect each location before towing your boat there.

The featured ramps below include 7 locations with documented trailer parking and 3 with restrooms.
