Boat Ramp Information
Boat ramp gate keys are available for purchase by MBCA members. Proceeds are used by MBCA to cover the cost of a new lock every other year, and remaining funds go toward boat ramp maintenance. Locks are changed on odd numbered years after which a new key must be purchased. If you did not acquire a key in 2025, we will be announcing dates in April 2026 when you can come to the clubhouse to pick up a key. You can also request a key by emailing MBCASevernaPark@gmail.com. The cost is $50. Be sure to download the 2025 Boat Launch Ramp Regulations.
March 2025 Update: The boat ramp has been repaired and is open! Please be sure to read the new signs posted at the ramp which include the General Rules and warnings about the drop off at the end of the ramp. Avoid using the ramp at very low tides, and never back your trailer beyond the end of the concrete.
February 24, 2025 Update: The boat ramp is closed for repairs as of today. The actual repair is estimated to complete in 3-4 days, with another 7 days after that for the concrete to cure. We anticipate the ramp opening on or before March 7th.
January 29, 2025 Update: The boat ramp will be repaired in February with work expected to begin mid month. The ramp will be closed for approximately 12 days to allow for the repairs and curing of new concrete.
December 2024: Please be advised that due to recent work on the Marina bulkhead adjacent to the boat ramp, there has been damage to the right side wall of the ramp, which in turn has caused excessive erosion under the ramp. As a result, the lower slab has sunken down causing a 4″+ drop off on the right side . The community is actively working with the Marina and the marine construction company that caused the damage, to repair it.
REMINDER: Use of the boat ramp is at your own risk. Be careful, don’t back your trailer down further than the end of the ramp, and never powerload your boat onto the trailer.
