Sechelt Inlet/Porpoise Bay Boat Ramp
Location: Wharf Road, Sechelt, near the Government Dock.
This popular and busy ramp provides access to Sechelt Inlet. A small dock provides temporary tie up for use immediately before/after loading/unloading. Low tide launches may mean tires over the end of the ramp, but the drop is relatively small and negotiable if treated carefully.

Selma Park Boat Launch
Location: Situated at Selma Park, approximately 2 miles east of Sechelt, immediately off the highway.
A free facility generously provided by the Sechelt Band, the launch is ideal for small craft. There are no facilities to tie up, so launch and go is the order of the day. Parking is only allowed in the upper area and overnight parking is not permitted. The end of the ramp does drop away, so launching on low tides should be avoided if possible.

Location: Gower Point Road, Lower Gibsons, next to the Gibsons Yacht Club
A wide, easy to use ramp, with a shallow incline and good maneuvering space. No tie up is provided. The launch puts you inside the marina, so please observe marina speed restrictions until well outside the breakwater.
