Located along the historic foreshore of Williamstown, in Bay Trail W, Newport, this boat ramp provides a well-maintained launching point into the Yarra River and out into Hobsons Bay and Port Phillip Bay. The facility includes two concrete lanes, allowing multiple boats to launch simultaneously. Two floating pontoons are available, making boarding and retrieval easier for boaters.
The ramp is in good condition, though occasional maintenance is needed due to frequent use.
Williamstown Boat Ramp is frequently used by anglers, sailors, and recreational boaters looking to explore Port Phillip Bay. The location is also ideal for those seeking access to deeper waters for offshore fishing.
Lots of parking spots, including car and trailer parking, are available but can become limited during peak seasons, as Williamstown is a highly popular boating and fishing destination.
The nearby marina services add to the convenience, offering fuel and boat maintenance facilities. Fish cleaning stations and toilets are also available, making this ramp a well-rounded option for a day out on the water.
The ramp is close to the Williamstown Wolves Baseball Club, as well as the Greenwich Reserve (where there are cycling trails, picnic areas, benches, and a playground) and Sandy Point Nature Reserve. This beautiful trail offers visitors the chance to explore the local marine and bird life or simply enjoy a relaxing moment.
While congestion can be an issue, the ramp’s facilities and surrounding amenities make it a top choice for boating enthusiasts.
