Gosport slipway

I’m heading to gosport in August with my 6m rib, I’m looking at where is best to launch.

I see there is a slipway near haslar marina but unsure how usable it is?

I have lifting points on my rib so is there any marina with a little crane to lift in or do the marinas with dry stack charge a fortune to lift ribs from trailers?

Thank you

Depends what you call a fortune Most dry stacks won't want to do it as It just interrupts their normal operations. But here's what we charge https://www.kb-boatpark.co.uk/pages/125/other-services

I paid £160 at SDS for a one-way boat lift in 2014 and I’d imagine prices have gone up since then.........��

The slipway at GAFIRS is free to use with a big car park - there are others.

Take a look at the link and it'll detail the restrictions on each
