Sailing
The Northern Waters of Caithness and North Sutherland are probably the last unspoilt yacht sailing destination around the UK coastline.
Wick Marina is strategically placed for coastal or international passages, and provides safe berthing, toilets and showers, and all the usual town and harbour facilities and services. Thurso Bay offers a large deep water sheltered sailing area with few restrictions.
The Club was founded in October 1953 and is located in the south east corner of Scrabster Harbour. The aim of the Club is to encourage sailing and seamanship, to foster racing and the social sides of sailing. This is achieved by an active racing program, a well attended sail training programme and excellent socials. See their website to get involved.
Sail North Scotland is an association of marinas in the North of Scotland, including Orkney and Shetland Isles, who are working closely to promote sailing in the Northern waters.
These Northern Waters are probably the last unspoilt sailing destination around the UK coastline. Even the glorious West Coast of Scotland will seem crowded compared to the unspoilt beauty around the Moray Firth, Caithness, Orkney and Shetland.
Wick lies in a strategic position on the northeast tip of the mainland and is ideally situated for passage to or from the Northern Isles and the West coast. The 80 berth marina, is only a 5-minute stroll from the town centre with plenty of shopping and leisure opportunities and renowned Caithness hospitality. See more here.
