Colonsay Community Development Company is delighted to be welcoming yachts to 6 visitor moorings; a community-led enterprise.
Queen’s Bay is a tranquil spot; offering no facilities, but the best shelter on the east, and spectacular views across to Jura. It’s an ideal base from which to explore the island and the white sands of Oransay also on a day trip.
Use is first come, first served.
Suitable for vessels up to 45ft in length or 10 tonnes, and available from early April until late October.
On foot with sturdy footwear, a walk over rough ground brings you to Colonsay’s hotel & bar restaurant, or around the headland into Scalasaig where you’ll find our island shop and welcoming Pantry.
Our island’s power supply comes along the submarine cable at Queen’s Bay – a sheltered anchorage. Dropping anchor is possible in the case of all moorings being occupied, however we join SSEN in discouraging yachts from dropping anchor specifically near to where this cable is plotted – please refer to marine charts.
For closer access to Scalasaig village amenities, please check Calmac’s harbour guidance for tendering ashore there: https://www.calmac.co.uk/Colonsayharbour
Detailed information and our payment link can be found on our community’s website: www.colonsay.org.uk/projects/yacht-moorings
Thank you for supporting our small community through your use of the mooring.
Whether you’re staying for a week to explore, or just an afternoon, we hope you enjoy Colonsay!
