Spinnaker Sound Boat Ramp

[Briz]

Several years since I've used the ramp at Spinnaker Sound (just before the bridge on the left) ... sort of remember that parking was a real issue - might head down there tomorrow and was wondering what to expect ... is it still a problem?

Be there real early for a park anything after 7 or 8 you will need to park far away and call a taxi to get back to the ramp. Come over the bridge hard left and down near vmr bribie ramp always room.

definately there early if you want a park, have seen plenty of people parked out off the main road, definately a cut lunch if you have to park out there

[Briz]

many thanks for the tips ... looks like an early rise if I want a park!

Yeah, I agree. I use the VMR ramp and always get a park.

You also have to option of getting fish and chips after your trip at the shop there!

Yes parking is an issue. but it is still one of the best ramps.

Parking wouldnt be as bad if Boaties parked their trailer straight and didnt take up two bays.

Everytime I go there 4 or 5 free bays are taken up because trailers arent parked straight. (if they are smaller I will often lift them out of the way but often they are the bigger dual axles).

Better than scarborough though where cars without trailers take up the trailer bays - this really pisses me off.

The other thing happens at Spinaker is guys park their boat on the sand right next to the ramp and leave it there instead of moving up, this shits me as well.

What is the ramp like at low tide? can you get bigger boats in/out here?

craig,
no worries, i have put the 680 in and out on some decent low tides without any dramas, i think the single ramp near the vmr pontoon is a fair bit longer (don't quote me) than the multi lane on the other side of the shops
cheers
