Manly Boat Harbour's northern public boat ramp sits at the end of Fairlead Crescent in Manly, a coastal suburb on the eastern side of Brisbane in Moreton Bay.

The facility offers four launching lanes with good depth, a floating walkway, and a concrete pontoon that allows boaters to tie off or drop off passengers with ease. Because the ramps sit inside the harbour, they are well protected from wind and chop.

The surrounding precinct is one of the largest boat harbour facilities in the Southern Hemisphere, with over 3,000 dry standings and wet berths across multiple marinas.

Parking at the northern ramp accommodates more than 100 cars with trailers, and a rigging area is available for pre-launch preparation. A Marine Parks office is located nearby, and public toilets can be found in the adjacent park area.
