Car Parking
There is ample free, public car parking around the marina. Parking is available on Fairlead Crescent, further along where it turns into Trafalgar St, or in the carpark off Wyvernleigh Close. See the map below. Because of markets on the Manly foreshore on Saturday and Sunday mornings, you might have a bit of a walk back to the marina. It usually works best to drop your supplies and passengers off at the marina and then one person parks each car and walks back. We have trollies to get your supplies to the yacht from there.

Please arrive 20 minutes before the scheduled time of departure and call your skipper on the number provided in your booking confirmation.
Wait at the entrance to William Gunn Jetty, shown on the map above. The Tide on the Jetty Cafe is just beyond there on the jetty and a good place to get a coffee or drink if you arrive early. The skipper will collect you from there. It is a short walk to the yacht from there.

Manly cafes and village bakery are 100m from the jetty. Start you journey with a cafe meal, or pick up picnic supplies the morning of your charter. Restaurants and quintessential Australian pubs await for a perfect end your escape. The nearby IGA opens at 6am.
