The Domain Boat Ramp
in Hobart is a well-designed dual-lane concrete ramp featuring a central
pontoon platform, which provides boaters with convenient access to the River
Derwent. This ramp is accessible at all tides, though it is important to note
that it can be exposed to easterly weather conditions. Users should exercise
caution, as the ramp is prone to the accumulation of slime, making it
potentially slippery at times.
Additionally, there is
a concrete jetty with a lower landing platform and installed PWC fenders for
added safety. A larger wharf is also situated next to the ramp, enhancing the
launching and docking facilities. Furthermore, the Royal Hobart Regatta Association
is stationed nearby and regularly hosts impressive events.
There is ample parking
spaces for ramp users although there is a fee to park there. There are no
amenities available near the ramp, but there is a toilet block up on the road
near the Regatta Grounds.
