Anchorage only
Written by Contender | 19th Jul 2024
Anchored a night just upstream of the gas pipeline. This pipe is well marked at each end with yellow signs and on the west end by a string of small yellow buoys. Anchors in 4m just off an obvious stone wall that is at a road that comes down the hill to the water edge. Just beyond this there's a single yellow buoy that marks the western edge of the channel. Holding is good in mud. Still no facilities for visitors in this harbour.

UPDATE AUGUST 2022
Written by Don Thomson 3 | 9th Aug 2022
I reviewed these notes in August 2022. I have been unable to contact the Millbay Inn (number unidentified) and, although The club at Magheramourne has a website and FB page they don't seem to have much sailing activity
UPDATE SUMMER 2021
Written by Don Thomson 3 | 2nd Jul 2021
I reviewed these notes in July 2021. I visited this lough a few years ago and there is really not much laid on here for cruising yachts.
Update Spring 2019
Written by Don Thomson 3 | 20th May 2019
These notes were reviewed in May 2019. For such a large expanse of water there seems to be very little in the way of provisions for cruising yachts and not much information either. We believe the Magheramorne "Boat Club" may still be in existence but we are not sure!!
UPDATE APRIL 2017
Written by Don Thomson | 11th Apr 2017
I reviewed these notes in April 2017. Nothing seems to have changed here but I've updated the chart in the gallery
Update 2015
Written by dononshytalk | 1st Apr 2015

Updated 21st November 2013 by Don Thomson. No changes were made and the East Antrim Boat Club website was not added to the main text as it contains information relevant to Club members
