About

About Sandusky Bay Boating

An independent community resource for boaters on Sandusky Bay and the Western Basin of Lake Erie.

What this site is

Sandusky Bay Boating gathers the information a boater on Sandusky Bay actually needs in one place: the marine forecast, the navigation basics, the marinas and ramps, and the places worth spending a day at by water.

The site is not affiliated with any marina, charter, ferry line or government agency. Information about depths, buoys and hazards is a starting point only — always consult current NOAA charts, the current NWS marine forecast, and Local Notices to Mariners before you go out.

Safety notice

Lake Erie can go from calm to whitecaps in less than an hour. File a float plan, wear your PFD, carry a working VHF, and know how to call the U.S. Coast Guard (channel 16) or Ohio Division of Watercraft.
