Half Day Trips

Cloch Lighthouse & The Gantocks

This boat trip will take you from Rhu Marina across to the south shore of the Clyde Estuary and then to the Cloch Lighthouse opposite Dunoon. As the water is very deep here we can take you in close to the Lighthouse, providing wonderful photo opportunities, and the chance to see this building, now a private home, from the sea. Then we will motor across towards Dunoon, to the Gantock rocks, where seals and seabirds can usually be spotted, and we will fill you in on the history of both the Cloch and the Gantocks. Here you will be able to look northwards, right up Loch Long, and southwards right down the Clyde Estuary, and savour the magnificent scenery on all sides. 

Duration: 3 hours

Holy Loch Marina, with time ashore

This trip takes you westwards past Kilcreggan and across Loch Long to the sheltered waters of the beautiful Holy Loch, which was used as a British submarine base during World War 2. From 1961-92 it was a US Navy submarine base, and at that time there were Chevrolets and Cadillacs driving around Dunoon!

You will have about an hour ashore when you could walk to the war memorial at Lazaretto Point, visit the marina cafe, or just sit on the benches next to the marina office, absorb the beautiful scenery, and watch all the boat activity.

A lovely scenic boat trip, passing close by Gourock and the Cloch Lighthouse, then continuing south to the bustling marina at Kip, Scotland’s first marina, now with over 600 berths, and an attached marina village. You will have about an hour and a half ashore when you can visit Kip’s Chartroom Restaurant or the marina coffee shop, or just wander around, soak up the atmosphere, and watch all the activity.
