Welcome to Lochaline Harbour and Pontoon Facilities

Lochaline Harbour is a sheltered and beautiful community run harbour on the sound of Mull in the west coast of Scotland. We offer pontoon berths, swinging moorings and excellent shore facilities. Our services and charges are available here.

Over the 24/25 winter season we have invested significantly in our services including a complete refurbishment of all of our showers, new and improved lighting on the pontoons and upgrading our outdoor shore facilities including installing two new barbecues, a nomadic tent and increased outside seating all of which is available on a first come first serve basis. We have also installed a wood-fired sauna which is available to book online here. If it is less than 24 hours before your preferred booking slot, please phone our Harbour Master on 07583 800500 and we will do our best to accommodate you.

We look forward to welcoming you over the summer season and if you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to get in touch. 

Our History

Cala Loch Àlainn visitor pontoons opened in July 2011 and provide up to 30 visitor berths, now that the north side of the pontoon has been extended. The harbour is within a short walking distance of the village of Lochaline.

In July 2013, shore facilities including harbour office, showers, toilets, laundry facilities and WiFi were added to the development, shortly followed by a safe access road that connected Lochaline Harbour to the village, bypassing the recently reopened Lochaline Sand Mine.

At the end of May 2016 we have installed 10 new swinging moorings to complement the existing pontoons and shore facilities at Lochaline Harbour. 9 moorings are situated just North of the pontoons, and 1 to the South. All the moorings are identified by large yellow buoys with a ‘V’ (visitor) and are numbered. These moorings are suitable for boats up to 12m and are allocated on a first come first serve basis. 

In April 2025 we have opened the Lochaline Harbour Sauna, a wood fired sauna which is available to book throughout the summer 2025 season. More information can be found here.
