Yacht Haven
However as part of the overall redevelopment project, yacht facilities at the harbour will increase considerably, and these are nearing completion; An extensive boat storage area has been completed, and a boat hoist will be available shortly.
Full disabled access bridges will feature, along with a disabled hoist to assist boarding craft. A hotel, chandlery and restaurant are also anticipated on site. Although not full completed, the new marina is now operational for berthing, and berths are filling up fast. It is anticipated that all pontoons and access arrangements will be in place by early November 2008, with the remaining facilities becoming operational over the winter period.
The new marina will be 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 717951, or 07703 168280.
