Manly 16ft Skiff Sailing Club

I have lived in Manly for many years, and have been a member of the iconic Manly Skiff Club all that time. I use the club frequently. The location is superb, overlooking Manly Cove. A great place to sit back and watch the ferries and other happenings on Sydney Harbour. The renovations completed in the last few years have enhanced the presentation and made the most of the views. The Skiff Club is only a short 5 - 10 minute stroll from the Manly Ferry wharf. The food is consistently good, better generally than pub food, which is probably reflected in the price. The wine list is excellent, and I have enjoyed one or two cocktails on occasion. The Skiff Club is open for lunch and dinner 7 days a week. Bookings are generally essential, particularly in holiday season. If I had a criticism, as a member,it is often difficult to book. Whilst bookings on weekends and public holidays are for members only, no one ever checks and on quite a few occasions I have been unable to obtain a booking despite allowing what I would have thought was a reasonable period of time. The Skiff Club can be very popular, and crowded. I suspect there is no cap on membership numbers. The outside area is available for walk ins only, so it’s always possible to get a seat. In late December the club installs a marquee to provide additional protection from the sun. My favourite dish is the Barramundi, although I have also enjoyed the Prawn Linguini and the steak. The Affogato dessert with Baileys is superb. Coffee and teas also available. Staff are super friendly. A must visit for all visitors to Manly. If you like my review,p,ease “like” so that others can benefit. Happy to answer any questions.

One will need ID to get in, it was full, find table that isn't reserved and sit, oders are by qrcode, odered fish & chips. Which was good but not the best, you could watch Harbour while you eat or drink.

Been here several times with mixed results. Simple/ pub style food but we left most of our stone cold fish and chips and heavily battered calamari at lunch today that was dissapointing while the seared tuna salad on the other hand was excellent. On a stunning Spring day this offers a great location, vibe and atmosphere

Always divine and quintessentially Manly and feel a million miles away and exactly where you want to be. Pub fare at a premium price. Fave dish is the seared Salmon rice bowl $29 with a side of chips to share is perfect and 5⭐️!. Rest is 4⭐️Riverine Angus was very good but steaks always at a premium at $36 (it’s the location and vibe tax). Parking is always impossible and luck of the draw so best bet is to PT and walk. Definitely worth it on those special occasions and sparkling Sydney days☀️

First timers here. What a lovely, lively place. Food is delicious and fresh. I had linguine with prawns. Cocktails are delicious too. Drinks are pricey, but its a lovely afternoon out. It does get very busy. I recommend making a booking for a meal
