The Isle of Mull is a must when sailing in the western islands of Scotland. Located north of Jura, at the mouth of Loch Linnhe and the famous Caledonian Canal, on the way to the islands of Coll, Eigg, R ù m and Canna, Mull is a very popular crossroads.
An easily accessible port
As there are not many marinas in this area, a stopover at the Tobermory pontoons is ideal for resting, refueling, provisioning but also visiting the town and its surroundings. Easily accessible from the Sound of Mull, the harbor is open to the east, but protected by Calve Island.
In addition to the pontoons, there are buoys dotting the bay in front of the harbor. However, there is still room to anchor between Calve Island and the Isle of Mull or in the southeast of the bay. In this case, it is better to have a good dinghy motor to reach the shops in Tobermory.
All amenities nearby
On the practical side, all around the harbor, boaters can find a post office, a grocery store and a mini-market, a bakery and banks, craft and souvenir stores and even a small shipchandler. Everything you need is right here, just a few steps from the harbor!
Multiple activities to perform
As for tourism, young and old alike can visit the Mull aquarium located in the harbor buildings, taste local dishes in the restaurants or at the fish and chips on the pier, visit the local museum or take a walk along the coastal paths. The distillery is even located in front of the pontoons and of course offers tours and tastings, to be reserved for older children! Buses leave directly from the port to criss-cross the island and ferries also offer excursions.
