Mallaig Yachting Marina
Visiting by boat
Tucked into a sheltered natural harbour on Scotland's dramatic west coast, Mallaig Yachting Marina gives you 50 spacious pontoon berths with shore access, lighting, and electricity — all easy to reach if you line up from the starboard buoy at the entrance. The setting is hard to beat, with the rugged Knoydart peninsula and the Small Isles on your doorstep, and the bustling fishing village of Mallaig right there for fresh seafood, rail connections, and ferry runs to Skye and beyond.
