Fairly modern marina. Visitors mostly use the end of the nearest pontoon. Cleats only on hammerhead (inside and outside), rest are rings. Showers cost £1 but last some 10mins. They are in ferry terminal. Staff very helpful but are only present on limited hours.

From Clyde Cruising Club: The tidal streams in Hoy Sound are very strong (8 kn) and entry should not be attempted in bad weather or with wind against tide or on the ebb (ie W-going) tide. Accurate timing is necessary to ensure favorable wind and tidal conditions.

Want to know how the wind score works? Then you should read this explanation.
The wind forecasts come from yr.no (Norwegian Meteorological Institute), and was last updated 1 hour and 55 minutes ago (Sunday 31 May 11:15 PM). The next night score shows you the worst hour between 22:00 and 08:00 the next night. We recommend that you check multiple sources for wind forecasts. windy.com is a good website to show larger wind systems.
The safe wind directions for this harbour has been decided by an algorithm, based on how elevated the land around the harbour is. It's mostly correct, but sometimes the underlying data about elevation levels is not good enough to make correct decisions. It's a great help to other if you can validate or adjust the safe wind directions. You can see the data used by the algorithm to decide the safe wind directions by clicking here.
