Overview: Scotland’s Premier Marina has 620 protected pontoon berths, all facing the prevailing wind, available 24 hours a day seven days a week for vessels up to 24m with a maximum draft of 3.5 metres. All pontoon berths are serviced with 240v power and fresh water points.

The pontoons and wide water access channels make life very straightforward for manoeuvring your vessel within the Marina. So if you are looking to stay for just a few nights or something more long-term, we are here to make your stay as comfortable as possible.

The Marina office is open 24h, 365 days of the year. All visitors should contact the Marina office on or before arrival to arrange a suitable berth by calling 01475 521485 or VHF Channel 80.

We have a 50-ton Wise boat hoist which can accommodate up to 5.9m beams. For smaller crafts, there is a 30-ton mobile crane that is also used for stepping/unstepping masts. New to Kip this is our 7-ton boat shifter.

The yard accommodates up to 150 boats on hard-standing cradles. It is our policy to store masts off the vessels whilst they are ashore. Electricity and metered electricity are available in the storage areas.

Diesel fuel and gas are available 24 hours through Marina Reception. Night Security personnel are on duty to deal with immediate requirements outside of normal business hours.

In our Chandlery, we have a comprehensive range of clothing. We have technical sailing wear from Gill, Musto, Helly Hansen, Pelle P and Dubarry. Beautiful windproof tops and knits from Holebrook and great-looking jackets from Lighthouse which are ideal for shore walks.
