We are proud to celebrate the soft reopening of the Punta Rassa Boat Ramp, closed since Hurricane Ian in 2022. The ramp has long been a vital access point for Lee County boaters, and its reopening restores recreation and supports the region’s economy. Punta Rassa is a popular gateway to the waters surrounding Sanibel, Captiva, and Pine Island Sound and is open with limited amenities until construction is complete.

This project goes beyond rebuilding the ramp. Improvements include new underground utilities, ADA access, and resurfaced parking. Repairs to the northern, middle, and southern docks are underway, along with a new fish cleaning station and shade structure. Planned landscaping, signage, and lighting will enhance safety and appearance, making the facility more resilient and user-friendly than before.

Johnson Engineering served as prime design consultant, with Tyler Sharpe, PE, as civil engineer of record and Chris Barrett, EI, as project manager. Both attended the ribbon-cutting alongside county leaders and community members, reflecting our team’s commitment to technical expertise and the broader mission of rebuilding resilient infrastructure. 

We are honored to help Lee County recover, rebuild, and thrive by delivering one of the best boat ramp facilities in Southwest Florida. For more information contact Tyler Sharpe at [email protected].
