Searches for Marco Island boat ramps keep landing on thin pages, so here is the one county document that gives numbers. It is a news release from August 2025, so treat the figures as a starting point and confirm them (retrieved October 2026).
The county says the ramp is “located just north of the Marco Island bridge on the east side of Collier Boulevard.” It closed in mid-February for renovations and reopened on Wednesday, August 13, 2025.
The release states: “The cost to launch a vessel is $10, and vehicle parking is $10 unless the driver holds a valid Collier County Resident Beach Parking Permit, which provides free parking.” So a trailer boat owner without the permit should expect $10 to launch and $10 to park, per that release. The release is more than a year old, so confirm the current amount at the ramp or by phone.
The county replaced its parking master meter with the T2 MobilePay system. Per the release, visitors “can simply scan a QR code or text a short code to access the secure online payment portal through any web browser,” and no app download is needed. Bring a phone with signal.
The release lists a complete replacement of the seawall and boat ramp structures, new timber pilings, a new floating boat dock and a repaved parking lot. It describes “dual launch lanes and ample parking for trailers and vehicles.” It gives no hours and no count of spaces.
The release lists Peg Ruby at (239) 252-4000 and the website www.napleswaterpark.com.
The release does not say whether fishing is allowed from the new floating dock, so we cannot say. If you fish the Marco Island area from the bank or the water, read our Marco Island canal fishing post and the license guide.
