There are sailing diving and canoe clubs based around the excellent sheltered waters of Stornoway Harbour.

Berthing alongside for water, diesel or repairs is available in the very sheltered inner harbour, but direction must be taken from the Harbour Office.

Pontoon berthing for visiting yachts is available in the northern area of the inner harbour. Maximum length is 12 metres and draft is 2.5 metres. The pontoons are within a security area and accessed by a swipe card which can be obtained in the Harbour Office or Watchroom.

Tourist information, supermarkets and fishermen's chandlery are all only a few yards from the quay. 

Internet access is not available at the Harbour. Internet access is available at the Library in the town centre.

Currently, shower facilities are not available Harbour side.

Regular flights and ferry services make this an ideal crew change-over port. Slipway facilities and experienced marine engineers are available as are admiralty chart stockists.

Moorings

Currently the Port Authority does not provide moorings for small vessels.  All existing moorings are privately established and maintained by individual owners.

Immigration

Any vessel arriving at Stornoway as part of an International voyage, should provide documentation to the Harbour Office, for the purpose of Immigration clearance.
