Launch your Boat on Lake Tahoe
At Homewood High & Dry Marina we make launching your boat as easy as possible. Our forklifts can accommodate a wide variety of boat sizes and ensure that your boat is safely lowered into the water.
Please note that we do not have a boat ramp at our location.
The Homewood High & Dry Marina primarily uses Marina Bull Wiggins Forklifts to transport boats within the Marina including hoisting them into dry storage and launching them in the water. Our forklifts can typically carry boats from 23’ to 30’ in length. We carefully consider several factors including size and dry weight before determining whether our forklift can safely accommodate a boat.
In an effort to better serve our valued storage customers, the Homewood High & Dry Marina has implemented the latest reservation technology available to marinas. The “BoatCloud” system is 100% web-based and touchless, allowing storage customers the ability to manage their boat movements from the convenience of any web-enabled device, including a mobile app for your smartphone.
We will not be accepting boat launch requests on-site.
Lake Tahoe requires all boats to be inspected prior to launch to prevent the introduction of invasive species, such as quagga and zebra mussels, which can damage the lake’s ecosystem and water quality. These inspections help protect the lake’s clarity, native wildlife, and recreational value by ensuring boats are free of harmful contaminants.
We cannot launch your boat until you have the proper inspection and the Tahoe Only sticker.
Locations and hours of inspection stations can be found here.
Vehicle parking is available in designated areas at Homewood Mountain Resort, located directly across the street from Homewood High & Dry Marina. Three up-front loading/unloading parking spaces are available for 15-minute short-term parking. We offer complimentary use of our wheeled carts for moving items from your vehicle to your boat. Boat trailer parking is available for an additional fee.
