Features a high-capacity 2-lane concrete boat launch ramp equipped with a central floating universal access pontoon jetty. Positioned in deep tidal waters, providing safe all-tide launching into Thirsty Sound, Shoalwater Bay, and the Percy Islands across 6-metre spring tides.

Pre-Launch Fuel & Donut Defense
Wasting $150 on fuel and fresh bait to run into dead water is an embarrassing donut. Strike Club translates local water flow, tidal turnaround, and atmospheric pressure into one simple call: If it is green, hook up the trailer. If it is red, stay in bed.
