For visiting boats
Peterhead Bay Marina is the leisure harbour of Peterhead Port Authority, on the north-east tip of mainland Scotland. Its easterly position makes it a natural safe stop for yachts crossing to or from Scandinavia and for boats working along the east coast towards the Caledonian Canal and the west coast. It takes boats up to 22 m, with 2.3 m below chart datum at the entrance and berths deep enough for 2.8 m draught. On site there are fresh water, electricity, showers, a laundry, free Wi-Fi, diesel and gas, and a small chandlery stock.
