Chowder Bay Wharf
Chowder Bay is one of the most beautiful places to incorporate into your Sydney Harbour cruise. It is the closest most charter boats can get to Manly and is a popular alternative to the Manly Ferry wharf. There good facilities here including BBQs, a playground, changing rooms and a large pool.
1. Getting There
A less common and more remote wharf option usually requested if guests are dining at Ripples nearby.
In lovely Chowder Bay, Mosman, near Clifton Gardens. Quiet and scenic. The entrance to Middle harbour
2. Parking
Paid council parking nearby (expensive!). There are a few free spots just up the hill from the park. Fills quickly on sunny weekends.
3. Public Transport
Bus to Clifton Gardens, short walk down.
4. Local Amenities
Beachside cafes nearby Ripples. No major bottle shop close (Mosman/Cremorne so best shop earlier.)
5. Loading & Logistics
Short walk from car park. Some slope involved. Older wharf with uneven surfaces.
May require extra charges due to the distance from the city. Many boats won't access Middle Harbour. Please ask.
