Lochmaddy Marina: Gateway to St Kilda and jewel of the Western Isles
Safe, sheltered berthing at the heart of Uist, with water, power, WiFi and everything else a travelling boat needs, just a short walk from the pontoon.
A working marina, built for the travelling adventurer
Lochmaddy Marina sits on the edge of Lochmaddy itself, on North Uist — right in the middle of the Western Isles chain. It offers a much-needed facility for local boat owners and travelling sailors alike, with safe berthing in all but easterly and south-westerly squalls.
As the jewel close to the centre of the Western Isles, we're the natural gateway to the surrounding islands, and on to St Kilda. Visitors get competitive berthing rates, a great location, water, electricity and WiFi — all bookable and payable online.
