For a comprehensive website of where to launch your personnal watercraft, powerboat, sailing dinghy, windsurf of kiteboard try the Boat Launch site.  This site contains volumes of information including local services and photos of the slipway/launching areas.

Sales or Services

Kelly's Hero Charters is new to Brixham this year having previously worked out of Burnham-on-Sea, Somerset.  Dave can run fishing trips for groups of up to 10 as well as exhilarating RIB rides for that extra special occassion.

There are many search and rescue services along the UK coasts and the Bristol Channel is no exception with the RNLI (Weston, Burnham, Penarth & Barry), BARB Rescue Hovercraft, Portishead Lifeboat Trust and SARA providing the services we may need to call on.  These dedicated volunteers answer the call of anyone needing assistance at any time so please try and find some time to visit their websites

For boat, outboard engine and trailer sales or service I would recommend Samspeed Marine located on the A38 at Falfield close to junction 14 of the M5.

Accommodation

Excellent bed and breakfast at The Warren Guest House is provided in the nearby town of Burnham-on-Sea about 20-30 minutes drive away.

Clubs

Weston Bay Yacht Club is situated at the mouth on the River Axe towards the southern end of Weston Bay and benefits from a varied calander of events.

Weston Bay Watersports Club organise waterski events as well as social evenings held at the Pavilion opposite the slipway at Knightstone Island.  They are also the local club providing waterski training at all levels.

Many of my clients have expressed the friendly atmosphere at Burnham-on-Sea Motor Boat and Sailng Club which is located about 30 minutes drive from Weston-super-Mare.
