Good place for a beginner to learn boating. Safe place for car and trailer.
Lots of parking for vehicles and trailers, the ramp is in good condition but the jetty is quite small if your a novice. Can be tricky if there is a strong easterly blowing but we didn't damage anything so all good!
Free to use and park, i just dont like the L shape jetties. So cant walk the boat onto the trailer from the jetty. A problem if your trailer isnt a drive on style because still get moderatedly pushed around in a light breeze, not as sheltered as it appears. Longer jetties would be the answer. So 4 stars cos no parking fees and good accessible location on the river. The light at the ramp is currently out of order so returning in the dark is difficult.
Easy ramp. Lots of trailer parking except for the recent long weekend. The water is always flat but can be crosswindy for launch and recovery.
Been using this ramp for years....find other boaters there friend ly and helpful...... unfortunately no one has checked the lights for months now...so it really is difficult to dangerous to use after sunset...with australia day coming up I am expecting it to be another level of hell and with no lighting... vehicles are not safe to leave there. UPDATE.... lights are back up again ..thanks
A good fairly sheltered boat ramp. There are public toilets by the main drive entrance and no parking permits or tickets needed. A great spot to launch your boat for fishing or a casual swan river cruise. Plenty of public mooring bouys along the shore with a nice 4 hour limit during daylight hours.
The Maylands boat ramp / trailer park is set in a picturesque part of Maylands with the Maylands Peninsula either side of it plus plenty of Parkland and shady trees. The ramp is steep enough and wide enough to be able to launch most sized boats with room to launch two boats side-by-side. There is also a jetty where you can walk along to tie your boat up whilst getting in and out. There are park benches adjacent to the ramp should you feel like having a bit of a picnic or something before or after your boat cruise. The car park can get very busy with boats coming and going however there is plenty of room for your car and trailer plus additional parking next to the car park.
There are also toilets in the car park and a wash down / flusg out bay for your boat next to the toilets with a tap and hose. No jet skis are allowed in or out of the water at this boat ramp and the boat ramp has CCTV cameras and water police patrol this area very often. Lots of River and bird wildlife in the area including pelicans and water birds, and sometimes dolphins can be seen in the river this far up.
