Questions, answered

All questions
Can we start from Drummoyne?

No — Capri leaves from Le Montage wharf in Lilyfield only, a short drive over the Iron Cove Bridge.

Can we get to Birkenhead Point by boat?

Yes — it’s on the slow loop, with toilets and shops a short walk from the wharf.

How far west can we go?

Gladesville Bridge is the western limit. Chiswick Baths sits just inside it (access from the water TBC).

Is Iron Cove calm?

Usually the calmest water in the hire area, which is why the slow loop suits families and first-time drivers.
