The Port MacDonnell Boat Ramp features a well-maintained, four-lane concrete ramp that is sheltered and equipped with two floating concrete pontoons, as well as a wharf suitable for larger and heavier vessels.

Major dredging work was undertaken from late March 2022 and completed in August 2022. This project aimed to enhance safety and improve access to the harbour, boat ramp, and mooring grounds for boaters. The sand extracted from the harbour entrance was used to replenish the sandy beaches located east of the harbour area. Additionally, the dredging supports local businesses and the fishing industry by enhancing productivity.

The boat ramp charges a daily fee of $5.50 and offers a weekly permit for $27.50.

Ample parking is available, allowing boaters to park their cars and trailers with ease. Nearby, there is a large grassy park adjacent to the ramp access road, along with fuelling stations, public toilets, and a playground, all within walking distance of each other.
