I've launched at James bay several time's.
it's not as good as esquimalt, but sheltered and easy enough to deal with.
There's never any one there though, so not sure if it's any honour
system .???
I bought an annual pass a couple years ago for $20.00

I usually fish out of Cheanuh, but was wondering if there was another boat launch farther west closer to otter point or sheringham pointÉ With a smaller boat it is too long a run to get out there from Cheanuh or from the sooke harbour launches.

I like launching at either the Crab Shak or Sooke Harbour Marina next door (no place there to keep a trailer tho'). They are right at the harbour entrance so the run west is about 15 mins shorter because you are not in the controlled speed area.
As for James Bay, you gotta watch the wind. If the wind is blowing from the west, the waves tend to hit that ramp pretty hard. The warf is some very rough concrete, particularly on the right side (facing the water) and it will take a good bite out of a boat. I believe the cost is $5 per launch.
Cattle point is great -- it's one of the better launches around here except for the fact that there is no warf or dock -- but given the price, you can't really complain too much.

Nope, you either launch out of the basin, or further east
the trailer park @ otter point is a private launch.
The next point is Renfrew.
