The yellow mooring buoy that is placed just outside the breakwater of the marina. Checked with the person responsible in the boating club. It was put out several years ago. It has not been inspected since, and nobody could say what weight of boat it is rated for.

Entry is safe and well marked with green and red buoys. Only with strong SE wind it is said to be rough at Salta Skerry at the entry of Balta Sound. Opposite the pier there is a marine farm (mussel lines). One can anchor in between pier and marine farm, but there are also two mooring buoys. We stayed one night at one of these and moved to the quay the next morning. There is water at the quay. In Symbister where we arrived in Shetland, we paid a fee of 35£ for the use of all quays in Shetland for one month = tarif 2023 (Lerwick not included -> private marina). Three shops on walking distance. Bus to south side of Unst possible, 2£ per person. There ferry goes from Belmont to Yell. Beautiful beaches, many birds, a castle. In Haroldswick there is a nice Heritage center, Boat museum. Cosy tearoom. Hermaness Nature Reserve is amazing. 30 minutes cycling. Norwick beach very nice as well.

Batlasound is a very beautiful area, which is very well suited for cycling trips in the pleasant landscape.
Safe harbor, definitely best to anchor here, as the quay area is characterized by decay and a lot of mess from aquaculture and fishing. Loading gravel onto the cargo ship generates a lot of noise and dust.
The harbor master is a nice guy. We had to pay 20 pounds for three days. Shower and toilet facilities are available in the sailing club house nearby, but the decay here was also noticeable.
Latest 2024, a shell facility has been established where the chart marks an anchorage near the harbor, so one is forced to anchor in shallow water where there is a lot of large seaweed.
