Port Canaveral to Dedicate New Boat Ramp
The Canaveral Port Authority will officially dedicate the new East Boat Ramp near Jetty Park at 9 a.m. on Wednesday, August 6. The free boat launch facility is larger than the Freddie Patrick Park ramps, which were demolished for construction of new Cruise Terminal 1 in the Cove. The terminal is scheduled to open in November. The new boat ramps are the result of staff collaboration with the boating community. As promised, the complex features 8 slips, 2 pavilions, fish-cleaning tables, restrooms, boat rinse station, paved parking and a grass overflow parking lot. The $4.6 million complex also has accessibility for the disabled.
