Bluff Public Ramp
Bluff Public Ramp
The Bluff Boat Ramp is a public boat launch facility in Bluff, Southland, owned and operated by Invercargill City Council.
It provides boaters with access to Foveaux Strait and surrounding waters, and forms a key part of the Community Recreation Precinct outlined in the Bluff Masterplan 2020.
The ramp features two pontoons — Eastern and Western — installed following a recent upgrade. Payment for launching is handled via a Tap & Go terminal on site, the ParkEasy app, or an online permit portal.
Annual permits and commercial use fees are also available. Revenue from fees goes toward maintenance, repairs, depreciation, and consenting requirements for the facility.
