The Manly Warringah Sea Eagles have announced that Manly Fast Ferry will serve as the club’s Official Membership Partner for the 2026 NRL season.
The agreement signifies an increased commitment from the ferry operator, which is owned and operated by the NRMA, following its initial partnership with the club last season.
Under the terms of the expanded deal, the Manly Fast Ferry brand will feature prominently on Sea Eagles membership merchandise and various other items. The partnership also includes provisions for on-board ticket giveaways and co-branded advertising campaigns within the ferry vessels themselves, directly targeting commuters and fans traveling between Manly and Circular Quay.
The partnership aligns two organisations deeply embedded in the Northern Beaches community.
Chief operating officer of NRMA Marine, Nigel Ellsmore, expressed the organisation’s enthusiasm for deepening its ties with the football club.
“Manly Fast Ferry is once again looking forward to partnering with the Sea Eagles as the Club’s Membership soars to record heights.”
“The Sea Eagles are a great organisation and an integral part of a proudly passionate Manly community,” Mr Ellsmore stated.
To officially launch the partnership and engage the local fanbase, the Sea Eagles will host a special event on Wednesday, 3 December 2026, at Westfield Warringah Mall. The event is designed to drive membership uptake and provide fans with direct access to key personnel.
Fans attending the launch will hear from new assistant coach Kieran Foran, key recruit Jamal Fogarty, and star fullback Tom Trbojevic. A “Players on Stage” session is scheduled from 3:30pm to 4:00pm at the Arena Cove Food Court, followed by a secondary appearance from 4:15pm onwards in the Community Room on Level 2.
