Hi

Hi.
Preston 'slipway' is at Preston Marina which has no slipway, you have to be hoisted in which costs best part of £60. Tide effects you alot so you can only get out of Preston Marina 1.5 hours either side of high tide.
Lytham has a reasonable slip if you have a 4x4 or are brave.
It is not the best area for boating from Southport right the way up to Fleetwood since it is pretty dull with few intersting ports/pubs to visit.

Hi Stul

I usually launch at Knott End accross the river from Fleetwood, it is £8 for the day or £50 + vat for the year, year starts April.
You can find all the details on Boatlaunch.
