We like Stromness Marina.
We came into Stromness Harbour via Hoy Sound.
In Hoy Sound it is a good idea to have the
tide behind you and not too much wind over tide.
We had 5 knots of tide and came in nice and
fast.
The marina is at the top of the harbour, just past the ferry
terminal with ample depth.
Stromness Maruina
The marina was nearly empty when we arrived
and we were the “first visitors of the year” on 2nd April.
The marina is well sheltered, easy to get into and secure.
Like all of Orkney, it is very friendly.
It is run in winter by
volunteers.
There is diesel and water by hose, electricity (by wire .. which is reassuring), plus
showers and washing machines etc. at the ferry terminal next door.
