Fishing & Boating

There are a number of boat ramps, jetties and public mooring sites throughout the Tasman Peninsula. Check the Marine And Safety Tasmania (MAST) on 1300 135 513 or check out their website for a detailed list on the Tasman or see the list below https://mast.tas.gov.au/facilities/

These are great spots to launch your boat or bring your esky and chair for some recreational fishing. Most of the IGA’s and stores on the Tasman have bait and simple fishing gear.
