Moorings and Pontoons

The Isle of Gigha has been welcoming yachts for many years, both as a safe anchorage when sailing the West Coast, transiting the Mull of Kintyre, or cruising north from Ireland.

Ardminish Bay offers 6 mooring buoys rated to 25 tonnes (orange) and 17 mooring buoys rated to 15 tonnes (blue), both with a 22.5 metre swing circle radius. There is good holding in the anchoring area. There are also 8 pontoons with a MLWS for each of: 1.4m; 1.5m; 1.8m; 1.9m; 2.1m; 2.2m; 2.4m; 2.5m (readings taken at atmospheric pressure 1009). 

PLEASE PAY ALL APPLICABLE FEES (NOTED BELOW) TO HELP US MAINTAIN & DEVELOP OUR FACILITIES.

Please note that vessels must not be left unattended overnight whilst on the pontoon. If you intend to leave your vessel on the mooring unattended overnight, please telephone 01583 505390 or email trading@gigha.org.uk to keep us informed.

Vessels are advised to not use the pontoon during easterly winds.
