Launch location and Fees

[Newf]

Opened this thread as several post showing up in Fishing Report Threads.

For the ones that I visit the fees are as follows to the best of my knowledge:
Esquimalt Anglers---$20 per launch and Yearly of $100. (Last year prices and not sure if any changes this year)
Pedder Bay---$15 per launch. Just recently change from $10. No longer have a yearly. I had one last year for $200 yearly but couldn't renew.
Cheanuh---$20 up from $10 last year. I heard that you pay for additional parking if you have guest show up in separate vehicles. Going out there today so will confirm if that's the case.

Cheanuh had a parking attendant there yesterday. Helped avoid the cluster F that ensues on weekends. She was doing a good job as that place doesn’t flow well for parking.

I stopped in there around noon yesterday to check the ramp condition at low tide. There was a lady talking to the staff and reporting a truck and trailer parked on the main road directly across for the main entrance. The truck/trailer was not completely off the road and according to her posed an hazard to the main traffic. She wanted the staff to do something about it but don't know if they looked at it or not.

I think Goldstream/Halls is $20

Port Alberni is like $18.00-19.00.

Sidney Tulista Boat Launch is $12 for one day parking and $189 for a annual pass last time I checked. Parking is limited but I believe it's ok to use the presently inactive Anacortes Ferry overflow road parking.

Sooke at the Prestige Hotel:

"Boat Launch & Parking Fee​

Robbins Parking manages parking at the District of Sooke Boat Launch. The machine is located to the left of the ramp, at the end of the utility building.

The pay station takes cash and credit card. Instructions on how to process payments are located on the front of the machine. All users must purchase a ticket and display it on their dash.

In addition to the $10 launch/park ticket, the machine also sells hourly parking and resident/non-resident annual passes. Resident passes are $60/year; non-resident passes are $120/year.

Once your plate is registered that is the vehicle associated with the pass; there is no need to display a pass."

Longer rigs might not fit in designated parking. Don't know if overhangs are ticketed but I have seen damaged trailer lights a few times. Don't know if the launch is free if you park on the road for either?

If you launch at Prestige(The hotel in Sooke) it is 10$, but if you manage to get a parking spot at the hotel be aware that you will have to cough up for an hourly parking fee also. Learned the hard way this past weekend with a 40$ ticket compliments of Robbins

Does Cheanuh still have overflow parking up on top somewhere?

Silva bay put in a launch last year. $30 to use it and only open 930-430.

What’s the long term (3-4 nights) situation at clutesi if you’re parking at the ford dealer? Do you just pay at the launch?

I think I'd fight that one. "$10 launch/park ticket," from their own website.

I believe so. Sometimes it gets closed for events. If you have FB, they are trying to use social media more for updates.

14 nights max parking at the lot beside Ford. 20 bucks to launch. Yes, just pay the launch fee.

Out at Cheanuh today and chatted with the main dude(I believe) prior to launching. In addition to the $20 launch fee, if you have guess who come in their own vehicles they also have to pay $20 per vehicle. He told me reason for this is that many of the clients with their boats there in the marina were sometimes not having a place to park so they initiated the change. You park you pay.
Apparently they do have an overflow parking up the hill and 2nd road to the left. It sounded like a bit of a hike but they do have one. He said he’s been recommending that the band clear off an area across the main road opposite the entrance on top of the hill but no movement from the band yet. It was a very good chat and they seem to realize that it’s sometimes a struggle when things get busy but they are dealing with a small area.

This is helpful info. Thank you.
Practically a bargain compared to what I have to pay over here in some spots.
