Whistler Street car park - Opens at 6:30am* - Website here.
*We have been informed by Northern Beaches Council that access to Whistler car park will be available much earlier than their offical operating time of 6:30am. This will give you time to make our ferry at 6:45am
The Manly Express will leave from from wharf 3 - in front of Wharf Bar at 6:45am
Please bring a form of ID to get your name checked off.
It’s very important you arrive by 6.30am to have your name checked off as the Manly Express Ferry WILL depart at 6:45am.
Once aboard sit back and enjoy a sunrise cruise across the harbour over to Rose Bay (keep your eyes peeled for whales and dolphins as you pass Sydney heads) .
Arriving at Rose Bay just after 7am it’s only a short walk along the foreshore to Woollahra Sailing Club- You’ll have enough time to get registered before we pay our respects to the traditional owners of the land including a welcome to country and a smoke ceremony.
Unfortunately we cannot supply a return ferry in 2025. The public ferry time table can be found at Transport NSW.com
