Cruising Palm Beach to Ettalong
Located on the NSW Central Coast is the sleepy coastal town of Ettalong, a hidden gem nestled between Umina Beach and Woy Woy.
Join Fantasea Cruising’s Palm Beach ferry service for a leisurely cruise to the quaint beachside town of Ettalong, then enjoy a relaxed lunch at the Diggers Club.
The thirty minute crossing from Palm Beach is superb, the scenery is stunning as we cruise past the familiar shores of Home and Away’s ‘Summer Bay’, Barrenjoey headland, Lion Island, Lobster beach and the charming village of Wagstaffe before arriving refreshed at Ettalong Beach Wharf.
Ettalong Diggers Club, with a prime waterfront position and impressive ocean views of Broken Bay and Lion Island is an easy 10 minute stroll along the beach, alternatively, if you are not up for the walk you can take the complimentary shuttle bus from the ferry wharf right to the front doors of the club. You can book your table out on the terrace or in comfort of the climate controlled dining room, either way you are sure to be spoilt by the magnificent water views.
Enjoy lunch from the daily specials menu (included in your ticket price). Menu may include:
- Roast of the Day
- Freshly Crumbed Chicken Schnitzel w/chips, salad & gravy
- Freshly Battered Fish & Chips w/chips, salad & tartare sauce
- Crumbed Prawn Cutlets w/chips, salad & Tartare Sauce
After lunch, join us once again for the scenic cruise back to Palm beach enjoying the dramatic views of the Hawkesbury river, West Head National Park and famous Lion Island once again.

"It was an absolutely great whale watching experience. We saw a lot of humpback whales and dolphins. Beautiful day. Staffs were very friendly. The boat was large, comfy and clean. It was really enjoyable and I'll definitely come back. :)"

"Great deal booked online and a really lovely 1 1/2 hrs cruising the harbour. We enjoyed the outdoor deck upstairs, but the inside area was just beautiful for those who preferred to be inside. Staff were lovely and overall experience was terrific. We were blessed with the weather... would highly recommend!"
