The patent application relates to a launching and recovering means for surface effect ships comprising an elevated ramp which extends into the water, and which is designed to be straddled by the surface effect ship. The width of the ramp matches the inside width of the contained pressure section of the surface effect ship; hydralic jacks or other extensible members support the surface effect ship at the upper end of the ramp.
