Power Boats

Power boats are only permitted to launch and recover from the outer Harbour Slipway.  The speed limit through the Harbour and within Harbour limits is DEAD SLOW.

Power boats should not enter the area close to the beach.

Visitors should be aware that the slipway can become green and very slippery! Whilst every attempt is made to keep the slipway cleaned, extreme caution must be used when launching and recovering vessels.

 West Bay slipway is 10m wide and runs into the sea bed. There is no ‘drop off’ at the end.

For your assistance, you can make use of the pontoon whilst you arrange storage for your trailer or vehicle.

Please come and see us in the Harbour office before launching to complete an application form and collect your launch sticker number.

Harbour users launching for the first time this season must provide evidence of Third-party insurance on arrival or launching is not permitted.”
