Pontoons - Moorings - Storage - Repairs - Boatbuilding - Engineering -Chandle

First established as a working boatyard with an engineering workshop and a few swinging moorings in the 1970’s, Ardfern Yacht Centre has been developed slowly over the years around an old pier. Originally used by puffers such as the ‘Brenda’ (see photo) for taking cattle and freight to and from the local Isles and isolated coastal villages on the West Coast, the Yacht Centre still uses that same pier today as a key link to the modern pontoon network. The early 1980’s saw investment made in the large boat shed, a slip and boat hoist, while the marina office and chandlery together with Walcon pontoons were all in place by the mid 1980’s. Since that time the workshop, hoist, winter storage area, offices, chandlery and pontoons have all been constantly improved and extended to provide the excellent facilities available at Ardfern Yacht Centre today.

Staff in today at Ardfern Yacht Centre checking round the yard and marina. Yard looking fine thanks to the prep work put in by boatyard staff and management on Friday and yesterday. Wiind moved round to WNW so getting a bit more shelter from the gusts this morning but still a bit too breezy to get safely round the pontoons for a boat to boat check right now. Forecast looks a bit brighter and drier with the gusts backing off a bit in the next couple of hours

🦦🦦OtterCam🦦🦦: our resident otter is still making themselves at home around the yard😁We think there is just the one otter, although it looks bigger and lighter brown in this clip than in the earlier ones. Maybe it's not been for a swim yet so looks a bit fluffier, or is there an Otter Hairdressing Salon just behind the shed and he's just been for a cut and blow dry?? 😂

It's all in the prep work. It will be stunning when it's finished - but there is an awful lot of work to be completed before this Camper & Nicholson reappears from the shed

Lovely autumn day, perfect for a check round the moorings before it gets a bit wet and windy over the next couple of days

OtterCam: one of those days.....no invites to dine out and can't be bothered cooking, so I'm just going to grab a takeway and go home and watch a movie....
