spanky Posted June 13, 2018 Report Share Posted June 13, 2018 Looking for a free launch for first time boater. Something not too busy, it'll be the first launch of the new/used boat, so quiet, safe, limited current kinda place would be good. Not looking for fishing spots, just a launch- if fish happen, great Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smerchly Posted June 14, 2018 Report Share Posted June 14, 2018 Nothing much in St.Kitts except Sunset Beach at Port Weller ( no good with Northerly winds) There's a couple at the Welland R. that are free .....one in town & one by the airport off Colbeck Rd.

smerchly Posted June 14, 2018 Report Share Posted June 14, 2018 We used to launch at Cayuga but that was way back ....The pay launch at the old BBQ at the Dunnville bridge was only $10 last year ....real nice launch & they said they would have a fry stand etc. soon ! The airport spot is at ECBrown park on River road ....not a great launch but ok for medium size boats . Watch for deadheads in the river ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spanky Posted June 14, 2018 Author Report Share Posted June 14, 2018 Smerch- sounds like the dunnville launch might be what we are after!! Thanks so much! Snags- fishing is for sure allowed, but will be second to testing out the boat!!!
