Berthing
Our 230 fully serviced berths can accommodate vessels up to 80ft. There is no restriction on draft and the berths are accessible at all states of the tide. Our marina team are on hand to provide advice and assist you on entering or leaving your berth. Please call on VHF Channel 80 for a berthing assignment.
As a berth holder, you will have access to a suite of marina facilities, including top-of-the-range bathroom facilities. Come ashore for our award-winning restaurants and bars, Spa, Leisure Complex and comfortable accommodation.
We recognise our longer term berth holders with a Loyalty Incentive scheme. Please see our Loyalty Incentives below.
Marine services are provided by trusted local suppliers and the boatyard has a travel hoist that can accommodate vessels up to 11 tonnes displacement.
Berthing guests enjoy a complementary round of golf at the Kyles of Bute Golf Club as well as access (rates apply) to our fabulous new Leisure Experience, with an outdoor infinity pool, indoor pool, children’s splash pool, spa pools, sauna and a fully equipped gym, it’s a great place to relax after a sail! Please note that access is limited to 4 guests per berth. For the ultimate in relaxation, treat yourself to the exclusive Spa Experience.
Boatyard and Berthing Rates
Boatyard and Berthing Rates
At Portavadie we operate a bit differently to conventional marinas and on all our Term Berthing rates we charge by the berth, based on its size & location in the network. This allows us to offer some really competitive rates.
All prices are inclusive of VAT and berthing is subject to availability.
