The 1770 Boat Ramp,
located at the 1770 Marina in Agnes Water, is a prime launch spot in the
coastal town of Seventeen Seventy, QLD. This dual-lane concrete ramp comes with
a nearby pontoon, providing easy access to the estuary waters and leading out
to the ocean, where boaters can reach some of the best fishing spots and reef
areas.
With a load limit of
up to 5 tonnes (gross per lane), the ramp is designed exclusively for trailer
boats. However, boaters should be aware that it is tide-dependent and sheltered
from most winds except northerlies. Extra caution is advised when launching, as
the ramp can get slippery and has a steep drop-off at the end. The nearby pontoon
is handy for docking and loading up before heading out, while the 6-knot speed
limit in the surrounding waters ensures a safe and controlled environment. Keep
an eye on sandbars and tide conditions, as these can affect your launch and
retrieval.
Beyond the ramp, the 1770
Marina offers plenty of parking for both cars and boat trailers, along with
essential marine services like berthing, fueling, and 24/7 support, making it a
well-equipped spot for boaters. Whether you're setting out for a fishing trip
or just enjoying a cruise along the coast, the marina provides everything you
need for a smooth experience.
If you're looking to grab
a meal before or after your time on the water, the marina has some great dining
options. The area is famous for fishing, crabbing, and 4WD adventures, making
it a fantastic destination for outdoor enthusiasts. Whether you're an
experienced boater or a first-timer, 1770 Boat Ramp is a top spot for launching
into an adventure.
