Tobermory advertises 60 berths and provides only 2 toilets which become public conveniences after 09.00 so be prepared to queue up every morning in the busy seasons to use what becomes quite an unhealthy environment. It’s a shame as Tobermory is a beautiful place to visit but desperately requires dedicated facilities for the yachtsmen (and I’m sure women) who pay for their moorings

I reviwed these notes in August 2022. The layout of the pontoons has changed in the last few years. The refuelling point is no longer on the old hammerhead (which has gone) but on the new cruiser pontoon. I've a feeling that there are fewer yacht berths than before?

I reviewed these notes in July 2021. They no longer have the old fairway past the Calmac Pier but want visiting yachts to enter the pontoons from due East in a new fairway marked by port and starboard lateral marks (lit) The rest is pretty well much the same.

These notes were reviewed in July 2019. There is a new pontoon which is basically an extension of the cruiser launches landing (There's a new photo in the gallery and I've put it on the harbour chart in the chart section. The extra visitors buoys mentioned below are, in fact, shown on Bob Bradfield's Antares chart of the bay. Pricing has changed and we've uploaded this year's charts.

There are also 2 blue visitor moorings to the north of the buoyed fairway (inner one is in quite shallow water for 1.5 m draft vessels I am told and the outer one is in deeper water) off the fisherman's pier which are both well sheltered from N or NW swells and 2 further visitor moorings in Aros bay off the jetty down in the south end of the bay.

Tobermory is still the same. Their phase 6 development is on hold for funds and may require a total rethink for something less ambitious. They've increased their prices a wee bit for the coming season (up 10p per metre )

These notes were updated by Don in April 2015. I've added a bit about pricing but otherwise there are no changes.

Cafe Fish: (above the Cal/Mac office) is superb but always pretty busy, worth phoning ahead. I've eaten there several times, always great.


Mishnish: - recently changed hands and is now run by the same team who have Lord of the Isles at Craobh Marina.

The typo in the Tidal Data has been corrected. Many thanks Gordon 7. We're sailors Gordon - forgive our imperfections!
