Please plan ahead before visiting the National Park and read our Advice for Visitors.
Close alertThe Duncan Mills Memorial Slipway office will reopen on Friday 23rd April 2021.
Byelaws were introduced on Loch Lomond to improve safety, reduce disturbance to wildlife, local people and visitors. Some byelaws apply to all users of Loch Lomond however, legally, if you are using motorised vessels on Loch Lomond you’ll need to register it with the National Park Authority and display the registration number on your vessel.
When the Slipway reopens on Friday 23rd April, it will operate largely as it did last summer with appropriate COVID-19 protection measures in place. We are asking everyone to adhere to the guidance at all times to keep yourself and our staff safe.
To help reduce queuing times we encourage all Loch users who need to apply for a new registration and those who have yet to re-register for 2021 to do so using the following methods:
New registrations
Re-registration forms were sent out at the beginning of the year. Please complete this form if you wish to re-register your craft.
If you require further assistance please call us on 01389 722030 or email boatregistration@lochlomond-trossachs.org with your enquiries.
When you arrive at the Slipway to register or re-register, you’ll need to bring a few things with you…
Identification
If you are registering for the first time or re-registering without your renewal form, you’ll need to provide proof of identity, either in person or by post. This can be either a UK passport or driving licence (or other form of photographic ID), supported by a utility bill or credit card statement containing your address and phone number.
If registering in person your ID must be originals, not copies. If you are registering by post or email, please scan your original document and include a copy with your completed form. We cannot return scanned copies but they will be securely destroyed once your identity has been verified.
Your fee
Please note: Use of the slipway for non-powered vessels is free, provided they are not launched using a vehicle.
At the moment we are only accepting payment in person – by credit or debit card. Bring your completed form to Duncan Mills Memorial Slipway.
For security reasons we are no longer able to accept cash payments at the slipway.

Your purchase of the Multiple Launch Pass will be recorded on the boat registration database and applies to the relevant vessel registration number.
