Kangaroo Island Council maintains 5 boat launching facilities on Kangaroo Island. Council has a strong commitment to upgrading these facilities to a high standard. Following upgrades of each facility, boat launching fees will be introduced. Income raised from the fees will be used to maintain the facilities. Users of boat launching facilities should read the Use of Foreshores and Boat Facilities Terms and Conditions

For more information please read Kangaroo Island Council By-Law 8: Foreshore and Boat Facilities 2017

The current Boat Launching Fees are available in the 'Fees and Charges Policy'. Daily launching fees are payable at Boat ramp. Short term (10 consecutive days), Annual and Lifetime passes are available for purchase from the Kangaroo Island Council Office. If you plan on using a boat ramp more than once a month, you should consider an annual permit. Application forms for this are available on the Forms page.

The following table outlines the facilities at each boat ramp with more specific detail and a map provided in the Boating Facilities Brochure.
