There is usually a way around most rules.
Why not sell memberships to your "exclusive" boat launch club for, say, $20.00?
That way the ramp is not open to the public it is a private facility, limited to members only.
The ski clubs in North Conway have been doing a similar thing for years. They have large open bar parties for all of the members of local ski clubs and the state told them that they couldn't charge a cover because they were then in the nightclub business and selling alcohol without a permit. Each club started selling "invitations" to a private party and got around the regulations. That was true in the 70's and 80's, I'm not sure it is true now.
Then again, it is nicer here with fewer boats!
