Mick (right) picked up this 5.2m 115hp Revival a couple of years ago with the aim of enjoying a fish with mates like Emir (left). Redeveloped in 2022, Point Richards is a short drive from Portarlington and is Mick’s ramp of choice. Cheers for the chat Mick and Emir!

There’s no doubt about it, boating brings people together in the great outdoors! For some, boating means cruising and fishing, For others, it means water skiing or sailing. There’s also an underwater world waiting to be explored and snorkelling is a great way to experience it.

Water like glass off Clifton Springs this morning. Boating days don’t come much better than this!

Calm waters, golden skies, pure magic!

First light on the water, nothing like it.

The Mahers Landing boat ramp is attracting users from near and far. Kevin and Joe travelled from Melbourne to launch here, and they reckon it’s a ripper.

No screens, no tablets, just glorious colours from a setting sun over the bay. Adventures like these are what kids remember!

We’re continuing our outreach across Vic, talking to boating and angling clubs about the reinvestment of your boating licence and rego fees into our ramp construction program. If you’d like to hear from us at your club meeting, email [email protected]
