Available Boat Launch / Marina(s) in the Orange Beach Area
Hey guys,
My family and I will be vacationing in Orange Beach during Spring Break (April 4 - 10) again this year. I was hoping to bring my 21' Bay Boat along with us to do some inshore / close offshore fishing. Are there any local area marinas that offer any type of boat launch and or temporary dry boat storage during this time? We will be staying at the Phoenix VI and I have contacted Zeke's Marina via email, but have not received a response from anyone as of yet. Zeke's would be most convenient since it is across the street!!
Can anyone local provide a list of public boat ramps and/or possible places to keep my boat and trailer?
Last year I fished the pier with my two daughters (which we will most likely do again), but I was really hoping to have my boat this year as well.
Thanks in advance for your help!!"Give a man a fish and he will eat for a day. Teach him how to fish and he will sit in a boat and drink beer all day." ~Author Unknown

There are public ramps at Boggy Point and Cotton Bayou.

If you can't find a place to park your boat & trailer, Woodleys, (formerly Wahoo) over where Co Rd 4 approaches the Oyster Bay Bridge will usually take short termers. Not as convenient, but there it is.
People are shocked to see sharks in the water around here.
If you see natural water taste it. If it's salty it has sharks in it. If it's fresh it has alligators in it. If it's brackish it has both.

J&M has a storage place behind the business where they rent spots by the week or month. Would be convenient to either Cotton Bayou or boggy point.

That's where I would keep mine if I was to get another one. They even have fuel right there in front of the store.

Well, after several hours making phone calls, I was able to track down a certain manufacturer’s service center in California. Thankfully, they agreed to send out my needed parts. These were left over...
You would think I would know this!
