The Schnapper Point Boat Ramp is a well-used facility in Mornington, providing access to Port Phillip Bay. The ramp is located beside Mother's Beach and the Mornington Yacht Club, and a few metres away from Mornington Pier.
This two-lane ramp is made of concrete and is in good condition, making it suitable for a variety of recreational vessels. The ramp features a fixed jetty, which is ideal for enjoying views and land-based fishing, as well as bollards for securing boats during retrieval.
Boaters can enjoy launching into one of Victoria’s most popular boating and fishing locations, with ample opportunities for catching snapper, whiting, and flathead.
Parking spaces, including for cars and boat trailers, are ample though it can become congested during peak fishing seasons.
The ramp has nearby amenities such as two toilets (one in Mother's Beach and one in Mornington Pier), showers, a kids' playground, picnic areas and BBQ station in the Mother's Beach, a restaurant, and a café for visitors looking to relax before or after their trip.
The surrounding facilities, such as the fishing charter docked near the ramp and a nearby restaurant, offer convenience for both locals and visitors.
The Mornington Schnapper Point Boat Ramp is located just a few metres from Schnapper Point and the Mathew Flinders Memorial. It serves as an accessible and scenic launching point, offering breathtaking views of the bay and the Mornington Peninsula coastline.
