Torquay Harbour - Launch & Recovery

Our slipway at Torquay is accessable at all states of the tide and is designed to be user friendly.  We do also offer daily trailer parking along the quayside. (See Trailer Storage Charges). Please note that this faciltiy may be limited when a large maritme event is running at and the Harbour Master does have the right at any time to refuse the use of the slipway, quayside and any facilities.

When approaching Beacon Quay by car to launch please drive up to the automatic barrier and press the intercom button on your right hand side and wait for a member of the Harbour Team to answer.  You will then be directed to the Harbour Office before you launch.

Please remeber that we do not provide car parking on the quayside.  However a public car park is situated directly behind the Harbour Office and at the Terrace.

For daily launching charges please see the table below. All charges, dues and fees are subject to VAT which is included in the price.

Personal Watercraft (Jet Skis) must be registered with the Tor Bay Harbour Authority before being used within the Tor Bay Harbour Limits. For more information on how to register your PWC and the associated Charges see the Personal Watercraft (Jet Skis) page.

Furthermore, if you live in Torbay you can obtain an 'annual launching pass' which will allow you to launch at any time of the year at each of the three harbours (launching restrictions apply at Torquay).  For an annual launching pass please contact Marine Services and see the charges below.

Please be aware that an annual trailer permit only allows you to park your boat trailer on the quayside on a daily basis whilst using your boat on the water. It does not qualify for overnight parking or permenant storage on the quayside.
