We have never been so well looked after and welcomed as we were at Inverness Marina during our stay in 2009.

Wick harbour is terrific. The Inner harbour is a really pleasant surprise. Generously equipped with pontoons and large gaps between the fingers for yachts of any size to moor; and all of it looking brand new... Read full testimonial...

Shetland has proved to be our ideal cruising ground. We have loved its variety, beauty and generosity but, after three seasons sailing its shores, we feel we have only just scratched the surface. Read full testimonial...

Sailing to the Shetlands is a unique experience ­ and even more: it was our most rewarding sailing experience. Arriving on the Shetlands means to widen your horizon in many ways: feeling warm hospitality, diving into the Shetland musical scene, plunging into our common history, being close to nature, enjoying a wonderful landscape.

We had a memorable trip all the way from Kent to Orkney but our VHF had given poor reception all the way. On arrival in the beautiful Stromness Marina the local radio man Stuart Walker confirmed we had “aerial problems” up the mast and went for spares.

Contemplating how we were going to deal with our aerial problem, we went off to collect bicycles from the Orkney Cycle Hire man, John Heddle, who happened to be up a ladder repainting his third floor windows.

I asked “You don’t fancy going up a mast do you?”

His response surprised and delighted me! “Well, if you can’t find anyone else I’ll give it a try and tick it off my ‘must do’ list”. Read full testimonial...
