Welcome-Anchorages

If you haven't already, head over to our Facebook page! As an extension of the print magazine, we're building up the page to become THE resource for sailing, cruising and anchorage news and info for the north of the British Isles. facebook.com/welcomeanchora…

Before every marina and anchorage office battens down for the Festive Season, one important job remains. Soon you will all be emailed your Facilities Update forms to ensure your entry is accurate in Welcome Anchorages 2024. Make sure what visiting skippers read, is what they get!

Keeping Welcome Anchorages accurate and up to date is a monumental task for the annual print edition, but did you know, the online edition is continually updated with mid-season changes on welcomeanchorages.co.uk Plan ahead, keep using our website and sail safely.

Shellfish farming is very sustainable. Nothing is added they filter their food from the sea. The water is cleaned too and it’s low on CO2. The beds provide shelter and shade for other creatures. We don’t shout about it enough and are often overlooked because it’s also a business.

We are delighted at the news of a very special delivery on board MV Argyle in Wemyss Bay this morning – a baby girl! Our warmest wishes and congratulations to the parents, and to our youngest ever passenger 🥰

… and here’s what to look for at your local marina or chandlery
