Cruise Ship Tenders

Tenders use Tobermory Harbour Authority pontoon.

Commercial Vessels

Smaller commercial vessels can tie up on the outside of the ferry which would require prior notice. Any vessel over 300 ton would need to tie up against the pier, which would require the ferry to tie up on its mooring in the bay. This mooring is weather dependant and if conditions are not suitable the ferry will have priority on mooring against the pier. 

Anchoring in the bay will be advised by Tobermory Harbour Authority.

Fishing Vessels

Fishing vessel tie up at the inner pier. This is the preferred berth as it does not interfere with ferry operations. Fishing vessel land, mostly shellfish, on the inner pier.
