Boats and RVs up to 50 ft LOA and 10 ft beam — beyond the 30–36 ft cap of many local marinas, with no beam surcharge.
Convenience · Effortless boating
All the joy of owning a boat. None of the hassle.
Your boat and trailer are stored together, secure and indoors. You come and go 24/7 — no marina hours, no waiting on staff — and launch from any of 18 public ramps within 45 minutes. Bring it back and we wash, flush, and store it. Want to skip the towing entirely? Our concierge service takes it from there.

24/7 Secure Access
Your boat, on your schedule — not the marina's.
Marinas lock the gate and keep hours; Gold Key is yours around the clock. Drop off and pick up 24/7 — a dawn run or a midnight return — and your boat and trailer are always secure in our gated, monitored, fully enclosed boat yard.
No waiting on staff, no restricted hours, no boat left exposed. This is the everyday convenience that changes how often you actually get out on the water.
24/7
Come and go on your own time — no marina hours, no waiting on staff.
Launch Anywhere
Never leave from the same place twice.
Tied to a marina, you launch from the same dock into the same water every single time — and it gets old. From Gold Key's central inland location, you have your pick of 18 public boat ramps within 45 minutes: into Sarasota and Palma Sola Bays, the Manatee and Myakka Rivers, the Intracoastal, and straight out to the Gulf.
Chase the fish, dodge the weather, or just try somewhere new. Boating never gets boring.
18 ramps · 45 min
Public launch points within a 45-minute tow, across both counties.

Boat & Trailer, Together
One rig. One spot. One less thing to worry about.
Your boat stays on its own trailer, stored together as a unit — at no extra charge. No separate trailer lot, no flat or weather-cracked tires from sitting outside, no sun damage. When you want your boat, you get the whole rig, ready to roll.
Drop It Off; We Wash & Store
Come back, hand it over, walk away.
Here's how an ordinary day works: you come by, hitch up your boat-on-trailer, and tow to the ramp of your choice. When you're done, you put it back on the trailer and bring it home to the boathouse — and that's where your work ends.
We wash the boat and trailer, flush the engine with reverse-osmosis water, and return it to its secure dry slip, ready for next time. No driveway cleanup, no hosing down at home, no storing a wet, salty rig.
The Concierge Launch Service · Upgrade
Prefer not to tow? We'll meet you at the ramp.
With the standard plan, you tow your own boat to the ramp and back — and plenty of boaters love that freedom. But many others, especially seasonal snowbirds, are apprehensive about trailering. For them, our white-glove Concierge Launch Service takes over completely: launching, retrieving, transporting, and cleaning — door to water and back, without you ever touching the trailer.
The trailer is the part people dread. We make it disappear.
