Why this stop matters
BLUE500 view
Village-led Kyles of Bute stop rather than a conventional marina. Four community visitor moorings give village access via floating pontoon, while Tighnabruaich Boatyard offers around 50 short/seasonal moorings, storage, repairs and a 15t hoist.
Kyles of Bute Sailing Club lists four new visitor moorings owned by Tighnabruaich Development Trust, plus hotel deep-water buoys and possible boatyard visitor moorings. Tighnabruaich Boatyard offers short-term moorings up to 50ft/20t with nightly, weekly, monthly and seasonal pricing. The yard provides outside storage, repairs and winter storage including a 15t hoist and power wash.
