Are you looking for easy, fast access to the Gulf of Mexico? This launch ramp is on the Gulf…read moreIntracoastal Waterway just north of the Albee Rd Bridge and roughly 3/4 mile from the Venice jetty. It's also easy to access in your vehicle since it's only 1 mile west of the 41. It's actually located on Casey Key. On an inlet, nicely sheltered from the wind, the boat ramp has two paved launching lanes. Courtesy docks are located on both sides of the launching lanes. The docks and pilings are well-maintained. You'll find them to be in excellent condition. The parking area will accommodate 25 to 30 boat trailers. While the ramps are paved, please note that the parking area is packed sand and not asphalt. Further to the north, passed the boat launch ramp, is a small grassy area with picnic tables and a view of the intracoastal waterway. To the south of the boat ramp is a small sandy kayak launch. It serves as an ideal launch and retrieve area for boaters with a paddleboard or kayak. Tromp line, if you're launching in the Nokomis area, this public ramp should be on your shortlist of facilities. Safe boating!

I wanted to follow up with you to provide some feedback on our sunset tour that we did through your…read morecompany on July 31, 2025. This was scheduled for 6 pm - 8 pm. Prior to departure the tour guide assured me and my 18-year-old daughter that we would be back before dark as it was illegal to ride wave runners after dark. We selected the Sunset Tour option with this understanding as it was the first time I had ever rode a wave runner and neither myself or my daughter have ever rode one in the gulf which is quite different from a lake experience where we live. The tour guide was very nice and explained how to operate the wave runner to me and did a great job accommodating my daughter and myself during the tour. However, on the way back we were in complete darkness and could not even see the signs to tell us the information needed for no wake zones etc... The tour guide had to pull out his phone to see what the signs would say and I felt we were in a very dangerous situation. We did not get back to the dock until 9:20 pm - this was over an hour later than scheduled. It was a very scary experience and I had asked the tour guide how many sunset tours he had done and he said that this was his first one. I believe he was around 19-20 years old which was not an issue except for I would question what type of training he has had on time management as this experience could have resulted in an incident due to the risks of driving these wave runners in complete darkness.
