Questions, answered

All questions
Can we be picked up at Kirribilli or Lavender Bay?

No — everyone boards at Lilyfield. The icons route passes both, and Blues Point is the Bridge photo.

Is Lavender Bay inside the hire area?

Yes — from Blues Point around to Kirribilli and the Bridge. Keep clear of the ferry wharves.

Can we swim at MacCallum Pool?

It’s inside the hire area at Cremorne Point. Where you can moor near it is TBC.

Is it worth the drive?

Three hours on your own boat, past your own suburb. We think so.

Keep planning
