The Hastings Boat Ramp, located on Marine Parade, Hastings, is one of the busiest and most well-equipped ramps in Western Port Bay. Featuring four concrete ramp lanes, this launch site is capable of handling a high volume of vessels, from small fishing boats to larger recreational boats. Two jetties are available on either side of the ramp, ensuring safe docking and easy passenger transfer.
Due to its central location and strong infrastructure, the ramp is frequently used by both commercial and recreational boaters.
The facility is in excellent condition, with regular maintenance and periodic upgrades. Nearby, boaters will find fish cleaning stations, public toilets, and wide parking spaces for vehicles and trailers. The site is also close to local fuel stations, bait shops, yacht clubs, and marine service providers, making it one of the most convenient and accessible ramps in the Western Port region.
There is also a Hastings Jetty Fish Shed near the area that has been around since Circa 1866. Given its strategic location, extensive facilities, and proximity to excellent fishing waters, the Hastings Boat Ramp is a top-tier launch site, widely favored by anglers, boating enthusiasts, and marine operators alike. It is also a great spot to see pelicans and seagulls up close so make sure they don’t steal your catch!
