Public Boat Launches in Dorset

[Jimmybarra]

Hi there,

I have recently purchased a 3.4m inflatable boat and was wondering if anyone knows of any public ramps for launching or easy beach launches in the Dorset area?

Thanks
Jimmy

poole harbour baiter park has a nice concrete one and you just pay too leave your car and trailer in the car park right where the slipway is

I would hardly call Baiter slipway nice if you have a trailer boat!
Too shallow ramp.

For an inflatable there is Wick in Christchurch, Mudiford next to RNLI slipway, Rockly in Poole harbour, Kimmerage Bay (watch out for any Southerly winds), Boleze Cove Weymouth, Weymouth town slip, Portland has a couple of slips and West Bay has a nice new slip.

Hi Jimmy
A good little book to get is Where to launch around the coast, by Diana va der Klugt. Covers England Scotland & Wales. Published by Opus books. Lots of info.
