337 — Wilson Inlet

WA Department of Transport Nautical Chart

Precise estuary navigation for one of Western Australia’s most changeable inland waterways.

🚤 Navigate Wilson Inlet with Local Authority Confidence

Chart 337 — Wilson Inlet is a detailed nautical chart published by the Western Australian Department of Transport to support safe recreational and local commercial boating within Wilson Inlet, near Denmark on WA’s South Coast.

Wilson Inlet is a dynamic estuarine system—with shifting channels, shallow margins, and water levels influenced by seasonal conditions. This chart delivers the large-scale clarity required to operate confidently in enclosed waters where local knowledge is essential.

🧭 Why Skippers Rely on This Chart

• ⚓ Authoritative WA source — Published by the Department of Transport

• 🗺️ Large-scale estuary detail (1:20,000) — Ideal for shallow, confined waters

• 🚦 Navigation aids clearly shown — Lights, beacons, piles & limits

• 🌊 Depth soundings & inlet features — Crucial for changing conditions

🧠 Why Wilson Inlet Needs a Dedicated Chart

Estuaries behave very differently from open coastlines. This chart helps skippers:

• Plan safe routes through shallow waters

• Understand depth variation across the inlet

• Identify navigation aids and limits

• Maintain situational awareness in tight, low-speed environments

• Operate safely in recreational and small-craft zones

This is a working navigation tool, designed for real on-water use—not a decorative map.
