While salty dogs and ornery sea captains had a good run for a few hundred years, today’s modern boater is a kinder and gentler sort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That is, until<\/em><\/strong>, you see a backup at the boat ramp.  Then it’s just like old times.  (Picture Captain Hook waiting in line at the DMV.)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, how can you stay within the good graces of other boaters at the boat launch ramp?  Read on, and we’ll fill you in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Master the Basics of Boat Ramp Etiquette<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

While some boat launch ramps have posted rules, a sizeable proportion do not.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a boater, you’re expected to arrive at the ramp ready to follow a tacit set of rules that dictate the proper boating etiquette<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Following these unspoken guidelines<\/strong> not only ensures everyone’s safety <\/strong>near the ramp but also prevents traffic <\/strong>backups and interruptions for others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Respect Launch Ramp Rules and Regulations<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Be aware of the number of boats permitted on the ramp at one time, the speed limit, and the type of boat that can be launched. If uncertain of the rules<\/strong>, seek clarification from the boat ramp attendant, port captain, or other marina employee.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
