Sailors Cutting Boat Ramp

Sailors Cutting Boat Ramp is a double launching ramp situated at the Sailors Cutting camping area on the southern shore of Lake Benmore in the Waitaki Valley.

The ramp is relatively sheltered by trees and is accompanied by a nearby jetty and mooring space, making it a useful put-in point for yachts and powerboats accessing the lake from the Kurow direction.

The facility is managed by Waitaki District Council and is included in the council's boat ramp fee scheme, which covers powerboats and yachts.

The surrounding camping ground, also managed by the council, adds to its appeal as a base for extended time on the water.
