Key West Boat Ramp To Launch Sea Ray 290

[Ralph vaughn]

Does anyone know of a good boat ramp around Key West to launch a 31 foot (Sea Ray 290). Alternatively one at Homestead or South Miami to be able to cruise the keys without too much motoring.

Thanks In Advance.

Ralph

better read up on towing wide loads in the keys......different rules than the rest of fla - also be careful of where you leave a truck and trailer in Dade County.....if it was me, I would put in at harbortowne marina in dania and run down from there - secure storage and a good ramp

this is very true and very severe if you are over 10' (no leeway given)
Are you a 290 Amberjack (10'6') or Sundancer (9' 6") ?
An AmberJack puts you in a $300 permit and Escort vehicle, not worth it, spend that on fuel and go the water route.

I'm a Sea Ray 290 Sundancer with a 9'6" beam.

Thanks
