Daly's Aharf is the fun pier in Akaroa, maintained for people on foot. The small cabin attractively perched on the end of the pier is the ticket office for the Fox II, a 90 year old sailing ketch.

Local fishermen catch mullet when in season from the pier. In the Fox II Dinning Guide, one picture shows the Fox II at the pier, another shows kids diving off the end of the pier. See (visit link)
