Patonga boat ramp??

[REELCRAZY]

Hi raiders, I’m looking at launching out of dark point ramp, patonga later this week. Will be in a quinine 475 bayhunter. I will be heading offshore and just want to conserve fuel by launching closer to the heads. Has anyone used this ramp before? Any dramas with tide levels? Thanks in advance

Good ramp. Ull get that boat in easy.  No pontoon FYI

[REELCRAZY]

Thanks mate. Yeah I saw there is no pontoon, will be all good.

Hi mate depending on where you’re coming from parsley bay boat ramp at Brooklyn is a great ramp and only about 10 minutes further to travel to heads

Yeah I would do Brooklyn it is protected and a good set up with floating pontoon

Ev, for the extra driving (car) to Patonga, unless you are staying there for a few days, Parsley Bay at Brooklyn is much better ramp with secure parking, a pontoon and new wharf with 3 lane ramp

Thanks bob, I am meeting up with a mate from the central coast and was also eyeing off the patonga pub for a beer and a meal after. Looks like a great spot to sit and look out over the bay!

Can highly recommend it - been there on numerous occasions - Also a nice bushwalk over the headland along Pearl beach Patonga fire trail to Greenpoint (but take some water with you).
