Sunset Pointe Marina boat launch
Sunset Pointe Marina
According to available information, Sunset Pointe Marina is a concrete boat ramp suitable for launching and retrieving various types of watercraft. It is a single-lane ramp that is 20 feet wide, providing ample space for boats to maneuver in and out of the water.
This boat ramp services Urbanna Creek, a small tributary of the Rappahannock River that flows into the Chesapeake Bay. Urbanna Creek is a popular destination for boaters and fishermen, and Sunset Pointe Marina offers easy access to the creek and its surrounding waters.
Sunset Pointe Marina allows a variety of boats and watercraft to be launched from its ramp, including fishing boats, kayaks, canoes, and personal watercraft. However, it is important to note that the maximum boat length allowed on the ramp is 24 feet.
The information provided above is based on the latest available sources and should be accurate. However, it is important to check with local authorities or the marina itself for any updates or changes to the services or regulations.

Boating safety & etiquette
- Check the conditions before you launch
- Use the streamflow numbers, weather, and wind forecast on this page. High-cfs whitewater requires whitewater-specific craft and skill.
- Wear your life jacket
- Statistically the single biggest survival factor in a boating incident. State law often requires one per passenger.
- File a float plan
- Tell someone on shore your put-in, take-out, and expected return time. Especially for multi-day or remote trips.
- Yield at the ramp
- Prep gear in the parking lot, not on the ramp. Launch and clear quickly so others can use the lane.
- Clean, drain, dry
- Inspect, clean, drain and dry your boat between waters to prevent the spread of aquatic invasive species.
Set push alerts in the Snoflo app

About Sunset Pointe Marina
Can I launch a motorboat here?
Most Snoflo-tracked launches support motorboats; check the operator for any horsepower restrictions, paddle-only zones, or seasonal closures.
How fresh is the streamflow data?
USGS streamgauges report continuously (every 15 minutes); the table on this page pulls the latest reading at page load.
Is there a fee?
Many federal and state boat launches charge a day-use fee. Check the operator's site before driving out.
What boat is right for these conditions?
Use the nearby streamflow numbers and river-run panel on this page to gauge current conditions. Wider, slower water is friendly for casual paddling and powerboats; high-cfs whitewater requires whitewater-specific craft and skill.
Can I get alerts when conditions change?
Yes -- alerts are managed in the Snoflo iOS app. Favorite this launch, set a threshold (discharge, wind), and you'll get a push the moment it crosses.
