Common questions about New Jersey boat launches

How many public boat launches are there in New Jersey?
Boating Hubs maps 146 boat launches in New Jersey across 70 named waters. 115 are public access and 31 are semi-private, meaning access may be limited to residents, members or permit holders.
Which waters in New Jersey have the most boat launches?
By mapped launch count: Delaware River (15), Barnegat Bay (8), Intracoastal Waterway/Barnegat Bay (7), Tuckerton Creek (7) and Maurice River (6). Counts are the number of separate ramps on each water, not the number of lanes.
Is there a fee to use boat launches in New Jersey?
Launch fees are set by whoever manages the ramp, and Boating Hubs does not hold fee data for New Jersey 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.
