2Update as of 12/8/2025: Better Boating Victoria has announced that repairs to the Stony Point boat ramp surface are set to kick off in the second week of December 2025. The main job is fixing a pretty noticeable crack along the middle lane, which crews will patch using a tough underwater grout.

Work starts on Monday, December 8, and will run over a few nights from 9pm, which are timed with the lowest tides. Before the grout is applied, the team will give the damaged area a good clean using a high-pressure hose to make sure the repair holds up.

While the centre lane will be closed for a few days, the two outer lanes will still be open. If you want an easy launch, especially later in the day, the Hastings Boat Ramp is a great backup. The ramp here has four lanes, two big floating pontoons with lots of room to tie up, and lots of  car and trailer parking.

Stony Point Boat Ramp is one of the go-to spots for boaters on Western Port Bay. It's big, well-equipped, and handles everything from casual weekend fishers to commercial traffic. With three concrete lanes, floating pontoons, and a jetty nearby, launching is smooth and hassle-free for all kinds of boats and vehicles.

It’s a busy spot, not just because of the boating crowd but also because it’s a hub for the ferry to French Island and Phillip Island, plus there’s a train station right there too.

You’ll find a big car park stretching all the way to the ferry terminal, so there’s generally space to park— as long as you get in early. Facilities like toilets and fish cleaning stations are present here, and if you’re staying the night, there’s a small caravan park right next to the ramp car park.

Weekends and peak fishing times can get pretty hectic, so it's worth getting there early if you want to snag a parking spot without any stress.

Stony Point is a favourite for anglers chasing snapper and whiting, and if you don’t have your own boat, there’s a fishing charter docked nearby that’s ready to take you out. One of the fun little extras is seeing the pelicans hanging around. They love showing up when the local fishers are back onshore and tossing out scraps.

All up, Stony Point Boat Ramp is a solid choice if you're looking for great access to Western Port Bay, with loads of convenience and some nice local character to boot.
