Portavadie Marina
Portavadie Marina is set in a man-made lagoon situated on Loch Fyne, across the water from Tarbert.
This deep water lagoon is protected by a breakwater and has the added shelter provided by 6 concrete wave attenuating floats, each weighing 14 tonnes, which are designed to stop any swell that may enter the lagoon reaching the berths.
The 230 berths can accommodate vessels of all sizes up to 70ft LOA with no restriction on draft, and are accessed from the 3m central walkway that leads to the generous 2.5m wide piers to which the berthing fingers are attached.
Services available at the pontoons include electricity, water, lighting and wireless broadband. Diesel and Petrol are available from the fuel berth on hammerhead G and gas supplies are available.
"On the Clyde sailing grounds and ideally located to give access to some of the best sailing waters in the world ..."
The sailing around Portavadie Marina provides sheltered waters for the new sailor and more challenging passages for the more experienced crews.
The stunning scenery which surrounds the greater Clyde sailing grounds is a fabulous backdrop in which to enjoy and explore a variety of safe anchorages and walk ashore destinations, all within easy sailing time of Portavadie Marina.
Portavadie Marina is a deep water man-made lagoon and is accessible at all states of the tide, breakwaters and concrete wave attenuating pontoons ensure a sheltered haven which can accommodate vessels of any draft up to 70ft LOA.
This prestigious sailing and marina development started on site at the beginning of 2007, now has 230 fully serviced berths on pontoons supplied exclusively by Walcon, with Seaflex anchoring system and it is certainly a destination for every sailor to visit.
During our development phase, we are pleased to offer special discounted rates.
