I reviewed these notes in August 2022. Prices have increased a wee bit but they are now the cheapest for visitors in the area.

...nothing in the village now the little shop has closed - which is probably because of the Sainsbury's Local half a mile up the Gourock road.

The Inverkip Hotel does good pub fare (I had haggis & chips) and delicious local beer from the Fyne Brewery. But it wasn't open last Monday or Tuesday, being the tail end of winter, and neither was the expensive-looking Chartroom (red roof, conspic.) restaurant at the marina. We had to get a taxi to Gourock (£15 each way! )where the Taj Mahal provided an excellent meal. And someone looking like Gregor Fisher (Rab C. Nesbitt, Para Handy etc.) was at the next table.

I reviewed these notes at the end of June 2021. Prices have changed and as far as I can tell the Old Power Station Jetty is still a feature.

These notes were reviewed in May 2019. They've put their visitor's price up but that does include shore power if you have a long enough lead. I've been trying to discover the plans for the Inverkip Power Station Jetty but nobody seems to know other than it's scheduled for demolition sometime.

The visitor pontoon has very long fingers that can take up to three boats. If you are not the first in it is unlikely that your power cable will reach the outlet pedestal. The marina no longer has any extension leads for loan.

I reviewed these notes in April 2017. They still haven't removed that Power Station jetty. The marina has put up its prices to £2.50 pempn.

These notes were reviewed by Don in March 2015. We have highlighted the removal of the Inverkip lum (thank goodness, it was an eyesore!) and members should note that Kip Marina has repainted their roofs red as before. We have checked with the marina and they say that the Kip green SHM is now relit (Fl G 5sec) They are maintaining last years prices for visitors (though they were increased in 2014)

"Please be aware that the very tall chimney at Inverkip in the Firth of Clyde is no more having been demolished in 2013. Therefore the excellent landmark visible for miles night and day is no more." This was sent at 05/01/2014 19:54:16

These notes were updated by Don T on 1st March 2013. Note that the conspicuous red roofs are no more (but then again they may have been re-repainted!!). Only change is to the prices which have gone up slightly since we last wrote but have been held to the 2012 rates.
