Portree Harbour
Portree Harbour sits on the sheltered east coast of Skye, tucked into a deep-water bay off the Sound of Raasay that holds well against wind from pretty much any direction. Visitor moorings are managed by the Portree Moorings Association on a first-come, first-served basis at £15 per day. Step ashore and you're right among the colourful waterfront buildings, with restaurants, hotels, and the lively hub of Portree town all within easy walking distance — a rare combination of solid natural shelter and a genuinely inviting place to explore.
