One of the premiere luxuries of being a North Palm Beach resident is access to launch boats and personal watercrafts from the Anchorage Park Marina Boat Ramp at 603 Anchorage Drive.
A Permit Decal is required to launch any trailered item from the boat ramp. This decal is for North Palm Beach residents only. Business owners in North Palm can also get a decal. Decals cost $100 plus tax. However, residents purchasing a third decal or more will only be charged $10 plus tax for each additional one. This is an annual purchase that begins every October 1. All decals expire every September 30th.
If you previously purchased a boat ramp sticker but obtained a new trailer or changed trailer license plates, you won't be charged for a replacement sticker. Remember to adhere to Ordinance 5-33: affix all launch stickers permanently to the driver's side of the trailer within four (4) feet of the hitch connection (effective October 1, 2023).

You can obtain a permit decal at the Anchorage Park Activities Building during office hours. We now offer the option to purchase it online, but you must wait to receive the actual decal via mail to use the ramp. Scroll to the bottom of the page for the online link. Select the Permit Decal Registration button above to purchase a permit online (not available in August or September).
Starting April 1, boat ramp stickers will be prorated to half price for the remaining months of the year.
Commercial Loading/Unloading: If you're a resident and are arranging permitted work on your seawall, dock, or lift, please inform the office before your contractor intends to use the boat ramp. We are currently discussing the potential need for a separate commercial loading or unloading permit. Meanwhile, any contractor using the boat ramp should check in at the Anchorage Park activities building between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. Note that commercial usage of the boat ramp is not permitted on weekends and holidays.
The Marina also includes two (2) day docks for pick-up/drop off and a walk-up kayak launch platform (above photo). These facilities do not need a permit to use. Please note that overnight stays are strictly prohibited in these day slips.
