Yacht Haven
As part of the overall redevelopment project, yacht facilities at the harbour have increased considerably, and these are nearing completion; An extensive boat storage area has been completed. A 45 tonne SWL boat hoist is available.
Full disabled access bridges now feature, along with a disabled hoist to assist in boarding craft. A hotel, chandlery and restaurant are also anticipated on site. The new marina is now operational for berthing, and berths are filling up fast.
The new marina is run by Inverness Marina Ltd. For further information, berth availability and updates, please see the website at www.invernessmarina.com or contact the Marina staff on 01463 220501, or 07703 168280.
Do not moor on commercial quays within the Harbour. This can only be done by initially contacting the Harbour Office for permission, and is strictly for craft too large for Inverness Marina. Commercial shipping berth and unberth frequently at all times of the day and night, and you must not block a ships berth. Warning; The commercial quays are faced with horizontal and vertical fendering. The vertical fendering is half height and does not go all the way down to Low Water level. Visitors berths are available at the new Marina, contact details as above.
The Inner Moray Firth is home to a colony of Bottlenose dolphins, and you are likely to encounter these beautiful creatures whilst transiting through our waters. A Code of Conduct exists for craft which find themselves in close proximity to the dolphins, and information can be found at; For other wildlife within the Firth, please give consideration to the "Scottish Marine Wildlife Watching Code". Information can be found at
In addition, a Marine Advisory Chart, showing sensitive areas within the Inner Moray Firth for various species, is currently being produced, and will be available shortly.
