FROM THE APPROVED YOUSAIL RECORD
Published profile copy from YouSail’s Supabase catalogue, exported on 16 Sept 2026. Treat operational details as a starting point and confirm them with the marina before relying on them.
Transport for NSW and Blackwattle Bay precinct material describes a new marina and public space being built at 5-11 Bank Street, Pyrmont as part of the Bays Precinct/Blackwattle Bay renewal. Current evidence did not verify an operating recreational marina with berth inventory, fuel, pump-out or boatyard services for this listing, so claims remain cautious.
Project-area marina/public-space evidence only. Operating marina services are not verified.

Blackwattle Bay is the eastern of the two bays inside the Glebe Island peninsula, and reaching it means passing under the Anzac Bridge and through the permanently open spans of the disused Glebe Island swing bridge, so there are no opening delays; masted yachts should confirm their air draft against the Anzac Bridge before planning a visit. The bay is shallow, around 4.5 metres, and three designated anchoring grounds are marked by buoys and signs: between Glebe Rowing Club and Blackwattle Bay Park, between the park and Glebe Point, and at the far end near the Annandale side, where an unmarked soft sandbar splits the anchorage and has grounded more than one catamaran. Holding is reported as patchy and the anchorages are narrow, so set the hook carefully and expect company close by. Four public dinghy docks serve the shore: the Glebe Rowing Club pontoon, the Blackwattle Bay public dock, the Rozelle Bay pontoon near the TramSheds food hall, and the Sydney Fish Market dock closest to the city. Wash discipline matters here because the bay is a passive-boating zone thick with rowing shells, dragon boats and canoes, particularly at dawn. Provisioning is excellent: the Fish Market, the TramSheds and Glebe Point Road's cafes and pubs cover everything from oysters to a mechanic's lunch, and the light rail stops at the head of the bay. The Harbour history walks along the foreshore pass the sites of the Pyrmont baths, the timber yards and the old trawler base, a reminder that this quiet pocket was once the industrial belt of the port.
