Reasonable for the price
Written by Merrill | 25th Feb 2024
The marina is reasonably priced (£3.50/m) with a second night being charged at half price. Be aware that they restrict the water supply, and frown if you choose to fill your fresh water tanks. Electricity is included in the overnight price.
There are a few restaurants in Dunoon, but I would recommend the Queen Street chippy as it gave an ample portion for £8.
I visited in August 2023, and would re-use the marina when next in the area.
UPDATE AUGUST 2022

I reviewed these notes in August 2022. I was surprised by the increase in prices here this year and you would find that Kip has held theirs down. The logging continues here
Chandlery Closed

The Chandlery has closed.
Items can be ordered for delivery from Gael Force (as detailed on the marina website).
Update Early Summer 2021
Written by Don Thomson 3 | 28th Jun 2021
I reviewed these notes in late June 2021. Firstly, thank you to Richard (below) for his info on the damping system on the logging pier. This continues to be good value for money with everything you could need for your yacht either long term or for a short visit. The Hunters Quay car ferry makes it fairly accessible by road from Glasgow.

No dust - June 2019
Written by Richard Jacobs | 10th Jun 2019
We visited in June 2019. The logging operation was underway. The noise was not intrusive. The dust was thoroughly suppressed by loch water being continuously pumped through a pierced hose onto the full length of the pier.

Update Spring 2019
Written by Don Thomson 3 | 13th May 2019
I reviewed these notes in May 2019. The prices here have been held at their 2018 levels (much cheaper than the other side of the Clyde!!). Unfortunately the logging work is still done from the pier at the southern end of the marina so our comments re the Noise and dust in Southerly winds are still relevant.
No more pipe tobacco

Sadly the old style tobacconist is no longer open.
UPDATE APRIL 2017
Written by Don Thomson | 10th Apr 2017
I reviewed these notes in April 2017. For the moment they have halted the work new pier at the NW end of the Marina and are hoping to have a new diagram on their web site to show the progress so far. They've increased their price a little but that still includes a two nights for one deal. They are installing Wifi later this month but the coverage of that is still an unknown quantity. I was in here in 2016 and can recommend it.
Update 2015
Written by dononshytalk | 30th Mar 2015
These notes were reviewed by Don in March 2015. Most of the photos of the marina do not show the extent of the pontoons here but the Marina plan in our gallery does. Prices have gone up and are noted.
