Located at the mouth of the Brisbane River near Whyte Island, the Port of Brisbane Boat Ramp is a two-lane concrete facility with a side pontoon for convenient loading and unloading. At low tide, a small sandy area to the south can be useful when the pontoon is occupied. However, the ramp can be more challenging to use during strong southerly winds, so conditions are worth considering before launching.
Boaters should also take care when navigating through the nearby railway bridge at high tide, as clearance can be limited, particularly for larger vessels.
This is a well-frequented and busy launch site, with many boaters using it as a gateway to the bay and river systems. The area is monitored by Port of Brisbane video surveillance, which provides an added layer of security.
Parking is generally accommodating, with a wide grassy area behind the main car park offering additional space for vehicles and trailers. Even during peak periods, finding a spot is typically manageable.
Overall, it’s a practical and popular access point for those heading out onto the Brisbane River or into Moreton Bay.
