Our permanent berth is at Craobh Haven south of Oban. The marina has excellent facilities and gives us direct access to the best cruising grounds in Scotland. Customers can board safely and easily from the pontoon and there is plenty of free parking available. For private charter we can arrange to collect customers from several of Argyll�s shore-side hotels as many have their own moorings. We can also collect from the Esplanade Slip or North Pier in Oban Bay.
