{"version":"2.6","id":"ashbridges-weekend-holiday-maximum-rates","question":"What are the weekend and holiday flat rate maximums at the Ashbridges Bay Boat Launch?","answer":"The flat rate maximum is $9.00 on Saturdays, Sundays, and public holidays from 9:00 AM to 11:59 PM.","answer_detail":"When planning your boating excursion at the Ashbridges Bay Boat Launch, it is essential to understand the specific parking and launch fee structures that apply during peak periods. For weekends and statutory public holidays, a special flat rate pricing structure is enforced to streamline the payment process and accommodate the high volume of visitors. During these designated days, which include every Saturday, Sunday, and recognized public holiday, the maximum flat rate fee is strictly set at $9.00. This flat rate applies to a continuous time block starting at 9:00 AM and concluding at 11:59 PM. Boaters launching their vessels during this 14-hour and 59-minute window will not be charged more than the $9.00 maximum, regardless of how long they remain within the facility during this timeframe. This rate provides significant savings compared to the standard hourly rates that might otherwise accrue over a full day on the water. It is important to note that this $9.00 flat rate maximum is only valid during the specified weekend and holiday hours; any usage outside of these operating hours may be subject to different rate schedules or overnight fees. Visitors should ensure they have the exact payment methods accepted at the facility before arriving to avoid any delays at the launch ramp.","related_ids":["ashbridges-weekend-holiday-maximum-rates"],"last_verified":"2026-06-16","authority":"https://ashbridgesbayboatlaunch.com","url":"https://ashbridgesbayboatlaunch.com/en/knowledge/ashbridges-weekend-holiday-maximum-rates","markdown_url":"https://ashbridgesbayboatlaunch.com/api/knowledge/ashbridges-weekend-holiday-maximum-rates?format=md&lang=en"}
