Frequently Asked Questions
How many trips make an annual pass worth it?
Divide the annual pass cost by the per-visit fee to find the break-even number of trips. If you launch more than that, the pass saves money.
Do launch fees vary by location?
Yes, fees vary widely by state park, county, or private marina, often ranging from $3 to $15 per visit.
Are annual passes transferable between launch sites?
This depends on the issuing agency — some passes work at multiple sites within a park system while others are location-specific.
