If you're looking for another solid launch spot in Sydney Harbour, Rose Bay East Boat Ramp is a top pick. Just a quick 4-minute walk from Rose Bay West Ramp and right near Rose Bay Marina, this three-lane concrete ramp is a go-to for recreational boaters. It's in great shape and offers a steady surface for launching, although it's worth keeping an eye on the tides; water levels can shift significantly.

The ramp is inaccessible to vehicles, so you can only launch kayaks, small boats, sailboats and any non-motorised watercraft.  It’s quite easy to launch or retrieve your boat since it is quite short. Some visitors use this as a gateway to wade or swim into the waters.  Across the ramp is a sailboat shed and the Lyne Park. There is a shaded area nearby to park your trailers, but heads up; it tends to fill up fast, especially on weekends or sunny days when everyone’s keen to hit the harbour.

You’ll find all the essentials close by, too; toilets, picnic spots, and plenty of waterfront cafés and restaurants if you're keen to grab a coffee or bite to eat before or after your trip. Since the area’s not far from ferry wharves, expect a bit of traffic on the water, with both commercial and recreational boats passing through.

Whether you’re planning to cruise the harbour, do a bit of island hopping, or cast a line for a relaxing fish, Rose Bay East makes a great starting point. It’s a popular launch site for good reason—scenic views, easy access, and a vibrant, on-the-water vibe.
