Tarbert Harbour

Sailing visitors to Tarbert, Loch Fyne, cannot fail to be impressed by the oustanding beauty of the harbour when they first enter East Loch Tarbert. A natural amphitheatre surrounded by heather covered hills opens up before them. The village nestles cosily round the bay, over which the ruined castle of Robert The Bruce keeps a watchful eye.

The harbour itself is the focal point of the village and its most important asset, home to a small but productive fishing fleet and a harbour with facilities and berths available for passing and long term stays. The harbour itself for the inner part contains a traditional stone wall designed and built by Thomas Telford.

Tarbert is an attractive village with many interesting features, many of these are listed in other sections of this web site, including festivals and other local events. You may wish to time a visit to coincide with these occasions.

For berths, vessels with a draft up to 3.5metres have both access to the fish quay and pontoons at all stages of the tide.

A well maintained toilet and shower facility is available. Power and water points are strategically located along the north pontoon system. Group visits are welcome. Reserved berthing may be arranged by giving advance notice.

Berthing fees are levied on a daily, weekly or monthly basis. To obtain details of these or other harbour information, please contact the Harbour Office which is open 0900 hrs to 1730 hrs Monday to Friday.

For out of hours emergencies the telephone is diverted to a staff member.
