Connected to Chinna Creek on its western side, it is bordered by Boat Basin Park along its northern and eastern waterfronts, running parallel to Kheyaban-e-Saadi.

[1] Driven by economic motives to optimise harbour utilisation, alterations were made to reduce tidal differences, thereby affecting the natural flow of sea water into the Basin.

[1] Consequently, Clifton and Keamari, initially islands and natural swamps, became connected to the eastern and northern coastland, respectively, forming the current basin but disrupting the crucial influx of fresh seawater.

[2] The Boat Basin, serving as a crucial link between neighbouring blackwater drainages such as the Nehr-e-Khayyam, is a focal point for the accumulation of untreated wastewater and toxic waste, precipitating the degradation and loss of its natural flora and fauna.

[7] The surroundings of the basin have evolved from being primarily for boating visitors into a lively commercial and recreational hub, with many restaurants, cafes, and food stalls at Khayaban-e-Saadi.
