For visiting boats

Holy Loch Marina lies at Sandbank on the Holy Loch, off the Upper Firth of Clyde on the Cowal peninsula in Argyll. It is Tingdene's only coastal marina, and from its sheltered pontoons the Clyde estuary, Loch Long, the Kyles of Bute and the west coast cruising grounds are all within reach. Facilities include fuel, a crane, hardstanding, a slipway, a chandlery, an on-site engineer, a pump-out, a laundry, showers and a restaurant. Dunoon is a short distance away, and the ferry from Gourock links the marina to the mainland.

Guest berths
Holy Loch Marina is at Sandbank on the south shore of the Holy Loch, on the Cowal peninsula, a short run from the Firth of Clyde, Loch Long and the sea lochs. Dunoon is close by, and the Gourock ferry crosses in about 20 minutes. Shore power is metered, so buy a metered lead at reception. Service, parts and chandlery are handled by the yard on site.
