All-size boats and RVs up to 50 ft in length — beyond the 30–36 ft cap of many local marinas, with no beam limit and no beam surcharge.
Convenience · Effortless boating
All the joy of owning a boat. None of the hassle.
Your boat and trailer are stored together, secure and indoors. Schedule in the app and your rig is staged and waiting — then come and go 24/7, and launch from any of 18 public ramps within 45 minutes. Bring it back and we wash, flush, and store it. Want to skip the towing entirely? Our concierge service takes it from there.

24/7 Secure Access
Your boat, on your schedule — not the marina's.
Marinas lock the gate and keep hours; Gold Key is yours around the clock. Schedule your rig in the app and it's staged on the ready line — then pick up and drop off 24/7, a dawn run or a midnight return — and your boat and trailer are always secure in our gated, monitored, fully enclosed boathouse.
No gate schedule, no launch queue, no boat left exposed. This is the everyday convenience that changes how often you actually get out on the water.
24/7
Dawn departures, midnight returns — the boathouse is open when you are.
Rack staging is scheduled in the app and handled during operating hours (Tue–Sat, 8–5). Your staged rig and ground-floor spaces are yours around the clock.
Boat and Trailer, Together
One rig. One spot. One less thing to worry about.
Your boat stays on its own trailer, stored together as a unit. If you store your boat with us, the trailer is included in your boat rate — there is no separate trailer charge. No outdoor trailer lot, no flat or weather-cracked tires from sitting outside, no sun damage. When you want your boat, you get the whole rig, ready to roll.
Launch Anywhere
Never leave from the same place twice.
Tied to a marina, you launch from the same dock into the same water every single time — and it gets old. From Gold Key's central inland location, you have your pick of 18 public boat ramps within 45 minutes: into Sarasota and Palma Sola Bays, the Manatee and Myakka Rivers, the Intracoastal, and straight out to the Gulf.
Beyond that, Florida has more than 1,700 public boat ramps across all 67 counties. A boat on its trailer can launch at any of them. Chase the fish, dodge the weather, or just try somewhere new. Boating never gets boring.
18 ramps · 45 min
Public launch points within a 45-minute drive, across both counties.
Drop It Off — We Wash & Store
Come back, hand it over, walk away.
Here's how an ordinary day works: you come by, hitch up your boat-on-trailer, and tow to the ramp of your choice. When you're done, you put it back on the trailer and bring it home to the boathouse — and that's where your work ends.
We wash the boat and trailer in our closed-loop system, flush the engine with reverse-osmosis water, and return the rig to its space, ready for next time. No driveway cleanup, no hosing down at home, no storing a wet, salty rig.
The Concierge Launch Service · Upgrade
Prefer not to tow? We'll meet you at the ramp.
With the standard plan, you tow your own boat to the ramp and back — and plenty of boaters love that freedom. But many others, especially seasonal snowbirds, are apprehensive about trailering. For them, our white-glove Concierge Launch Service takes over completely: launching, retrieving, transporting, and cleaning — door to water and back, without you ever touching the trailer.
The trailer is the part people dread. We make it disappear.
