Watsons Bay Wharf
Eastern harbour pickup near Doyles and The Gap
📍 Watsons Bay
🍽 Doyles on the Beach
🌅 Eastern Headlands
Watsons Bay Wharf is at the eastern end of the harbour — near Doyles on the Beach, The Gap clifftop walks, and Camp Cove. A bit of a drive from the city but worth it for groups wanting the eastern-suburbs vibe or starting their cruise far out in the harbour.
The bay is a ferry stop (Sydney Ferries from Circular Quay), so guests can train in to the Quay then ferry across — an iconic Sydney experience before the charter. Popular for sunset cruises and groups dining at Doyles.
