A MARINA located in a “stunning location” on the west coast of the Highands has been put up for sale.
Arisaig Marina – which estate agents say is already a “highly profitable” business – includes 70 moorings, a jetty and three slipways, an industrial building used for boat repairs and an open plan cafe and gift shop.
The scenic village of Arisaig, meanwhile, offers a good range of day-to-day amenities for visitors including a village store, Post Office, hotel, churches, restaurants, a public house, visitor centre with museum and golf course.
There is also a passenger ferry to the small isles of Eigg, Muck and Rum, a daily bus service to Fort William and surrounding areas and a station offering regular services to Fort William and on to Glasgow Queen Street.

Neil Calder, partner at Shepherd Chartered Surveyors in Inverness, said: “Included in the sale of the business are the boats MV Sheerwater and MV Briscoe which provide transport for foot passengers to and from the spectacular small isles of Eigg and Muck with additional sailings to Rum, Canna and Loch Coruisk on select Sundays throughout the summer months.
“Day trippers to these incredible islands have plenty of time on the island of their choice to explore the landscape, observe wildlife or just soak up the atmosphere of island life. The vessels Sheerwater and Briscoe are also available for private charter all year round.”
Nauticat 38, which is currently under restoration, is a further boat which is also included in the sale of the business.
Euan MacCrimmon, director at Strutt and Parker, added: “The shoreside land is held under absolute ownership/heritable title while a lease covering the moorings area is held between Arisaig Marine and the Crown estate from 2021 for 25 years.
“The annual rent is £3500 and mooring returns are submitted annually with each mooring laid having a rent payable of £60 each. Vacant possession will be given on completion.”
The property and business are for sale. Offers in excess of £1,250,000 are invited for the entire share capital of Arisaig Marine Ltd.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
Callum Baird, Editor of The National
