Whenever I'm in Sydney, the Manly ferry trip is a MUST for me. Thanks for another great video.
Thanks for watching and commenting
Nice video. I have ridden it several times. A nice, relaxing way to get to the beach and back to Sydney. I am going there again in January.
Brilliant footage. These ferries are built double ended which means they can go either direction without turning around. They usually run in a specific way and like all watercraft they have a bow and a stern. They usually run bow to the north but as captured here they ran the Freshwater aft to the north, which is quite rare. Lucky you, got a rough day! Always good fun!
Doing it at night is the best time, just as Sydney is lighting up.
Particularly on a warm calm night going out to Manly, so peaceful.
Captured beautifully 👍🏻. I enjoyed this ferry ride.
Thanks for sharing another Great Episode!
I have been to the Sydney opera house before. I went inside as a student choir.
Great trip my frirnd i been on it many times ..fantastic experience thanks
Thanks for sharing another great ferry ride! I'm looking forward to your next departure.
Greetings from Gothenburg and wishing you a nice day!
Glad you liked it, thanks for watching Bertil
Liked the bridge and lightning at the end!!
did it 2003 stayed in Sydney for a week and had a week pass that could be used on the buses trains and ferries great way to get around. farthest we went on a ferry was parramatta
Good stuff! It's on my list for my next journey to Sydney.
I almost forgot to mention that your video of Sydney Harbour was great.
Nice trip ...in poor weather...oh well......I was born in Sydney in '43....used go to Manly "all" the time.....as you docked, there used be a board walk out from the inner harbor beach on the left...destroyed in a storm in '74...my Mum used take me there as a wee lad...sailed out of Circular Quay on the CANBERRA in '64....thanx for the memories !! :)
Thanks for your comment
Informative video, loved it thank you:)
Great trip, at 2.42 is Fort Denison who's nickname is ' Pinchgut ' Thank you sharing.
Thanks for your comment
Nice video, thank you MS Marine
Thats one thing i loved doing.. travel from wollongong to Sydney and over to the manly ferry and hop on board and enjoy the trip and have lunch etc and the trip home
My first Sydney to Manly ferry ride was in January 1982 at a cost of 20 cents.
Great trip, I went on it in February 2007 and it was a much calmer and finer day in summer. Amazed you got such a gloomy and cool day, Sydney in March is usually really nice. Christchurch is my home town, so can't wait - can't imagine what boat you will be on unless its a punt down the Avon.
Glad you like it :) Unfortunately I did get unlucky with the weather, the trip I did started in Christchurch and finished in Wellington however my video will as usual just mostly cover the ferry trip part on the interislands ferry, thanks for watching and commenting
I love Sydney. I love Circular Quay and the ferries and going to manly. I live in Queensland State, but when I go on a cruise i go from Sydney, as we use to live in Sydney. And i go on the Carnival Spirit ship. I hope you enjoyed your Sydney trip and thanks for sharing. Next time i go down to Sydney I'm going to do the Parramatta cruise, as i haven't done that one. Still enjoy your videos. And been on the Freshwater many times
Thanks for commenting and watching 😀
I was there in March, it was a great trip, we went over if the afternoon and came back at night with great city views. I found Manly much better than Bondi!
I also visited Bondi and agree, Manly is a better to visit
Bondi is overrated but it’s nice when it’s quiet . Has a great walk around to the next beach. 20 odd years ago had a bunch of great little eating places . All gone now replaced by gaudy take aways.
Lovely memory Manly ferry trip with my daughter in A U
I’m in hq right now. I miss Sydney!
I lived in Manly and worked in the CBD so this was my daily commute for 6 years.
At 7am on a summers morning with a cloudless blue sky and sunrise behind the Sydney Harbour Bridge - life was good.
Approx 20 years ago Sydney Ferries also operated the high speed Jet Cat service that took only 15 minutes to cross the Harbour.
I used to take the top deck on the first early morning service and it was heaven :) You had an early morning cool breeze, blue skies and an empty top desk. I had my own private yacht :)
There are organised tour boats that take you around the Harbour and explain whats there and the history of the Harbour.
The Parramatta cruise is up river in a much smaller boat and not so adventurous but worth trying
The names given to the Manly Ferries are from the beaches and small towns with the same name on the Northern Beaches of Sydney
The small island you saw when in transit and where you mistakenly called the grey coloured launch a Police launch is called Fort Denison on Pinchgut Island and was former penal site and defensive facility, it now houses a light for Harbour navigation. Also in the Harbour is a major Naval Base and very frequently you see foreign navy ships moored there. Quite often you will see US Navy Aircraft Carriers visiting while on their ocean patrols. Passing one of the US Aircraft Carriers on the Manly Ferry really shows how huge the Aircraft Carriers are.
Sydney Harbour is a busy harbour especially on weekends and is managed by the Port Authority who have a number of lookout facilities and provide an almost traffic control system.
One final point Sydney Harbour is constantly being cleaned to maintain the habitat of rare sea and fresh water sea life.
Sydney, Sydney Harbour and the other harbours [Darling Harbour etc] are beautiful and well worth visiting.
Thanks for your detailed comment. I very much enjoyed my visit to Sydney and the Harbour, the atmosphere around Circular Quay with the ferries, the cafes and the Opera house was quiet spectacular (like being in a movie) again thanks for your comment and info😀
Nice!
Great video, what you thought was a Police vessel is actually an auxiliary navy ship manned by civilians.
Thanks for your comment, I searched everywhere on google but could not identify that vessel.
@@msmarinediesel1843 The name is Seahorse Mercator operated by Defence Maritime Services under contract to the RAN as a navigational training vessel.
Great👍👍👍
Lovely indeed, and remember, if you’re an Australian of pensioner age , you can travel anywhere on Sydney city transport (including THIS ferry trip) for $2.50 a day !
COOL👍👍👍👍
I was in Australia a few years ago.
I'm wondering how can i join you to sail the world especially this other part of the world ...African water in general.
Amazing
Melbourne is worth visiting if you come all the way to Australia.
4 Pines is a microbrewery in Manly.
I did the same trip many years ago, way back in 1992, so watching this brought back some happy memories. I'm curious though, I seem to remember there used to be an Isle of Wight ferry on the Lymington to Yarmouth route that was also called the MV Freshwater (named after Freshwater Bay on the Isle of Wight), do you happen to know if there was, or am I having false memory?
Glad it brought back good memories for you, I enjoyed my trip there very much too :) I had never heard of a ferry called Freshwater before my trip to Manly, thanks for watching and commenting
@@msmarinediesel1843 I googled it after I left my comment, and there was indeed a Sealink ferry on the Lymington to Yarmouth route called the MV Freshwater. I think I actually went on it a couple of times.
It's cheaper on Sundays; only $2.80 AUD with an Opal card.
The Freshwater and Queenscliff have both run into Circular Quay Dock
Perhaps you should have also pointed out when you were crossing the Heads.
Apologies, had a good shot of the North Head and had intended to point it out but forgot when I was putting the video together, thanks for watching.
Can you please make a manly fast ferry video?
Where was everyone? Every time I take the Manly ferry there are many more people on board, it must have been a very cold day!
I try to avoid showing other passengers in my videos and if I do I try to ensure they can’t be recognized, thanks for watching and commenting
Got it, smart move.
I went on the fast ferry it’s not wrong it is fast
Hope you did the ferry trip to Taronga and the Zoo
I don’t think it’s so great, cause the views around are better than your
