As far as we can tell this harbour is still inhospitable to cruising yachties

These notes were reviewed by Don in April 2017. As far as we can tell the Yacht Club moorings are still not open to visitors.

James Logan was a Master Mariner (Captain?) for many years at Ayr Harbour from about 1875 to 1900.

I was told there was a photo of him in Ayr Harbour

Anyone know where this photo might be?

Thanks

do you need a licence to fish at Ayr harbor

These notes were reviewed and altered by Don in March 2015. This harbour should no longer be considered as a "destination"; the yacht club are unwelcoming and say they have neither the space nor the facilities for visitors and the ABP advise against it on practical grounds.

While AYCC pontoons are private there remains reasonable tidal docking against the Harbour wall just 50 metres short of the pontoons. Shore access is via inset steel ladders with amenities close by. Remember to check with the harbourmaster for any ship moments before entry. Stay within 30 metres of the North wall while sailing up also spring on to the steel ladders for more time ashore during the tidal rise and fall.

there is a change needed to the details of Ayr Harbour, the pontoons are no longer available for general use and the key can not be gotten from the Inn as stated. This was changed by the Ayr Yacht club some time ago after too many boats where getting damaged. We were in and where told all this 2 weeks ago locally.

These notes were updated by Don T in March 2013. Note the change in the provision of pontoons here.
