The Wynyard Boat Ramp and pontoon sit on the Inglis River, which flows approximately 61 kilometres from the Campbell Ranges before emptying into Bass Strait at Wynyard in North West Tasmania.

The facility serves both trailered boats and larger cruising vessels, with a public wharf available for alongside berthing. Boaters navigating the Inglis River should be aware of the significant tidal range of roughly 2. 5–3 metres along this stretch of coast.

Larger cruising boats entering the river are advised not to attempt the passage at less than three-quarter high tide, and vessels drawing more than 2 metres should avoid the river entirely.

Mariners heading to Wynyard are encouraged to contact the Wynyard Yacht Club for local knowledge about tying up at the wharf or town pontoon, and should consult the relevant Australian chart for the river entrance leads.
