Plan your launch
Florida boating trip planner
Pick a ramp and we'll find the nearest NOAA tide station, then show you the next 48 hours of high tides, low tides, sunrise, sunset, and the best launch windows for a trip.
Type to filter across all 2,603 Florida ramps.
🚣 Pick a ramp above to see your 48-hour launch windows.
How this works
- Pick your ramp — we look up the closest NOAA tide station (of 22 statewide).
- We pull the next 48 hours of predicted high and low tides from NOAA.
- Sunrise and sunset are computed for your ramp's exact latitude and longitude.
- We highlight the best launch windows: enough daylight, favorable tide, and a return before dark.
Important notes
- Tide predictions are astronomical — wind and pressure can shift real water levels up to a foot.
- The closest tide station may still be miles away. Local knowledge beats a distant prediction.
- Always check the live radar, marine forecast, and small-craft advisories before you launch.
- This tool is planning aid only — not for navigation.
