Hi, I launch my 17' wilson most weekends from the ferry, you can pay at the cafe. But be carefull the river mouth is one of the most dangerous in the country. the most dangerous place is by the red bouy where the fierce current meets the incoming waves and swell. Also parking is terrible only place is the pay and display and nowhere for your trailer.

Hi try to get hold of a copy of the May issue of Boat Fishing Monthly, got an article on fishing Felixstowe with info on launching sites. If you can't find one pm me your address and i'll send you my copy.

Thanks for your help guys will order Mays' edition looks like that might be worth a read, don't fancy coming in and out of the river mouth so will probably wait for flat calm and lauch straight off the beach at the dip.
Cheers again :-)
