Dock Ramp Ediquitte

Boat ramp etiquette:

Departing:
1. Do all your loading of the boat either at home or in the staging area, not as the boat is being put in the water.
a. Check if you have to remove your trailer electrical plug.
2. Once your boat is in the water, move a way from the ramp to the dock so the next person can have the ramp.
3. Have your passengers standing by and ready to board.
4. Depart the area at no wake speed.

When returning:
1. When approaching the landing / dock / ramp areas make sure to come off plane prior to the no wake buoy. Remember your wake will keep going even though you are not. Return at no wake speed.
2. Drop off your driver to pick up the truck and trailer and let your passengers disembark.
3. Back off the dock and wait on the water for the trailer to be placed in the water and load.
4. Pull far enough out of the ramp area so you don't block other loaders and start your check list for the ride home.
a. If you unplugged your trailer light plug remember to put it back in.
