The entrance to Loch Creran from Loch Linnhe is well lit and buoyed with deep water at all states of the tide.
The tidal flow is 4/6 knots at spring tides.
Situated on the southern shore of the loch we can be found on Charts 2378 and 2379 at 56º 31.657'N / 5º 19.275'W denoted Boat Ho.

A 20mm multiplait nylon rope is shackled to this chain and is taken directly onto the boat. Anti chafe protection sleeves are fitted to all ropes and a pick-up buoy is supplied. There are 47 moorings, most are suitable for up to 36' LOA 8 tonnes gross weight and three holding moorings for up to 45' LOA 15 tonnes gross weight
