Marinas & Boat Ramps in Burlington

20 listings · ranked by rating & reviews · updated 2026

Marinas and boat ramps are the launch points and home base for anyone fishing from their own boat. Public boat ramps are often free or charge a small launch or parking fee, while full-service marinas add slips, fuel docks, bait, pump-outs and sometimes a shop or restaurant. If you trailer a boat, the ramp is where the day starts - and details like ramp condition, tide access, parking for trailers and hours matter as much as anything. Facilities and fees vary a lot from a simple concrete ramp to a large marina, so it helps to know what a location offers before you arrive. The listings here help you find ramps and marinas by city and state.

Below are 20 marinas & boat ramps listings in Burlington, VT, ranked by Google review volume so you can start with the most established options and contact them directly. The most-reviewed is Plattsburgh Boat Basin (4.5★, 160 Google reviews).

Typical pricing

Public boat ramps are often free or charge a small launch or parking fee; full-service marinas set their own rates for slips, fuel and services. Facilities and fees vary widely - confirm launch fees, hours and availability with the marina or managing agency.

How many marinas & boat ramps are there in Burlington? +

Who has the best-rated marinas & boat ramps in Burlington? +

Are public boat ramps free? +
Many public boat ramps are free to use, though some charge a launch fee or require paid trailer parking, and busy ramps can fill up early on weekends. Fees and hours vary by location and managing agency - confirm before you tow your boat out.
What is the difference between a boat ramp and a marina? +
A boat ramp is a launch point for trailered boats - often just a concrete ramp and parking. A marina is a larger facility that may add slips, fuel, bait, pump-outs, repairs and a shop or restaurant. Some listings are ramps only, others full marinas, so check what each location offers.
How do I find a boat ramp or marina near me? +
Browse the ramps and marinas listed by city and state here to see nearby launch points and what facilities they offer. Because ramp condition, tide access and hours change, confirm current details with the marina or the agency that manages the ramp before your trip.
How much does a fishing guide cost in Burlington? +
Burlington guide trips typically run about $350-$600 depending on trip length and the number of anglers. Half-day bass trips sit at the lower end; full-day and deep-water trips cost more. Confirm the all-in price with the guide.
Why is Lake Champlain famous for bass fishing? +
Champlain holds huge numbers of quality smallmouth and largemouth and consistently ranks among the top bass lakes in the country. It hosts major tournaments, and guides target bass around rocky structure, weed lines and the shallows.
What else can you catch on Lake Champlain besides bass? +
Beyond smallmouth and largemouth bass, the lake holds lake trout and landlocked salmon in the deep water, plus walleye and northern pike in the bays and near the river mouths. It is one of the most varied fisheries in the region.
When is the best time to fish Lake Champlain out of Burlington? +
Bass fishing is strongest from late spring through fall, while lake trout and salmon are reachable in the cooler months and early season. The target often shifts with water temperature, so ask the guide what is on.
