2) When some of you launch over by DP Jet & Ski...is that always open? Do they charge for parking??? That seems like a way better spot to launch from, but if it cost $ ...I'm Out.

Thanks for answer in advance. Anybody up for Wed. outta DP? I wanna fish the pipe for the first time.

no fish finder rigged yet on new yak

$10 to launch at the ramp. Not sure about DP Jet Ski.

There is no public dock or parking lot at DPJS but purchasing a Hobie at DPJS comes with launching/parking priviledges.

It would be best to check with Tim Boyer, owner of Dana Point Jet Ski before parking and/or launching at his facility.
As JB stated, there is no public dock or parking there.

The boat yard next door has had it's struggles with people coming thru their gate and onto their side, launching from their docks, not DPJS's.
Please communicate with Tim before attempting to use the facilities there - he is excellent to work with but does have a business to run with a working boat yard next door neighbor that he needs to coordinate with.

Tim sells and supports Hobies.

Baby Beach = free park & launch; DP Launch ramp = $10 park & launch; DP Jetski = parking or dock launch for customers only except for tournaments & special events; Doheny Beach is another good option = hourly parking fee.

Fished DP kelpline on Fri. Water temp. 57*F and beautiful clear day with abundance of sealife. Numerous baitfish, dozen playful sealions, Rizzo & Common dolphins, and 3 Gray Whales cruising the kelp line and coming within 20-30 ft of our yaks! 5 fishing yaks made it more fun but unfortunately not a single bite all day long.
