Small marina with space for 7 small boats at a push - 3 or 4 big ones. Free buoy outside harbour and good anchoring in bay. There is only 1m at chart datum at the end of the inside pontoons so although these can be used, be careful beyond the hammerhead. They are not usually visitor berths. One shower which is free. Great place to visit.
Manager for 2026 is Adam and the number on Orkney Marinas website for Pierowall is now 07300 806911

Be aware that the aquaculture industry has taken over the quays. We experienced a lot of noise and commotion from aquaculture boats and the loading and unloading of people and equipment along the docks. Still just as sheltered as before, and the harbor master lady is a dinghy sailor and also runs the local bakery, so it is important to maintain a good rapport here.
