Stornoway (Lewis, Western Isles) - Docking
Mooring and Anchorages around Stornoway:
Pior to arrival, contact the Harbour Master on VHF Channel 12. John Neal from Mahina Expeditions recommends reporting when you are at the red can buoy off the lighthouse.
Contact the Harbour Master’ office in advance to ascertain berth availability prior to arrival.
The inner harbor has been dredged and a new marina installed at the northern end of the inner harbor. A slipway and boat hoist with boatyard services are planned for 2020.
A small anchorage is available between Goat Island and the RO-RO pier. Protected from north wind through easterly to southeasterly.
Glumaig Harbour
Approximately 1nm south of the marina, provides a good, sheltered anchorage, although more open to the north. Beware of the fairway that leads into this anchorage. Ships still come occasionally to the fabrication sheds of Arnish. The inner harbour has no room for anchoring and all the mooring buoys are private.
Loch Grimsader
Closest anchorage south of Stornoway. Go to back of bay. Good shelter and not too deep.
Loch Leurbost
Next anchorage south of Grimshader. Anchor off the village where moorings are, or better, continue on toward the back of the bay, anchoring between the cove and islet in center.
