Detailed answer
Ashbridge's Bay Yacht Club (ABYC) operates the fuel dock immediately adjacent to the public launch ramp. Their diesel and gasoline pumps serve members first; public access is typically weekdays 9 AM–4 PM, weather permitting, and requires cash or credit card at the dock. After launching, approach from the east side of the ABYC basin—do not cut through moored boats. If the dock is occupied or closed, the nearest alternative is Toronto Harbour Commissioners fuel at the western end of the Outer Harbour, a 15-minute cruise past Tommy Thompson Park / Leslie Street Spit. Pro tip: fuel your boat on the trailer before launch at stations along Lake Shore Boulevard East to save time and avoid dock congestion.
