Manly Skiff Sailing Club

Manly Skiff Club is at Manly Cove, on the northern shores of Sydney Harbour. Accessible by a scenic ferry ride from Circular Quay or by a 40 minute drive from the Sydney CBD. It is a short walk from Manly Wharf.

The locals have known about it for years, but the hordes of domestic and international tourists, sightseers and day-trippers that flock to Manly often go home without realising that just a short, pleasant walk around the cove from the famous ferry wharf is one of the popular coastal resort’s best-kept secrets. The club courtesy bus is available Thursday, Friday and Saturdays.

The Deck Bistro, on the water, features succulent steaks, super-fresh seafood, salads, burgers, pizza, mouth-watering desserts and coffee. The Deck is also the cheapest place in Manly for a beer, and with arguably the best views in the area. At night there is often regular top-class entertainment. And if you’re having a night out, there’s an excellent late night pizza menu. Treat yourself to Sunday breakfast on the deck, with a selection of hot and cold dishes.

The Harbourview Function Room has been recently refurbished and is now a light, bright airy space with a capacity to hold 120 people. There are a variety of menus to choose from and a superb wine list. The venue can be booked for weddings, parties and corporate functions with the added bonus of team building activities available such as whale watching cruises departing from the jetty.
