Inverness Marina

Opened in 2009 by Dame Ellen MacArthur, Inverness Marina sits in a sheltered spot on the Moray Firth with 147 berths, water, electricity, Wi-Fi, diesel, and a well-stocked chandlery on site. The 45-ton hoist and bilge pump-out facilities make it a solid base if you need work done, and full disabled access with a crew lift hoist is a genuine plus. You're right on the edge of the Scottish Highlands here, with Inverness city centre just a short walk away — castles, whisky, Loch Ness day trips, the works.
