Entry to Oban Bay is quite straightforward whether using the well marked North Channel or coming
from the south along Kerrera Sound. However, mariners are advised to keep a radio & visual watch
for the large CalMac ferries transiting in & out of the bay and give them room to manoeuvre. Their
movements are announced on Ch16 VHF.
Within the Oban Bay, mariners should be aware of hazards indicated by three Cardinal Marks. On
the north side of the bay Corran Ledge is indicated by a (flashing) West Cardinal mark. To the
south of the bay (flashing) North & South Cardinals indicate the location of Sgeir Rathaid Bank
(dries at extreme Low Water).
Entering Oban Marina in Ardantrive Bay, off the Isle of Kerrera there is a wreck at the most
southerly point, off Mount Pleasant. The wreck is visible at most states of tide and is marked by
an (unlit) post off its northerly point.
Oban Marina is a deep water refuge with 12/13 m depth at most moorings and pontoon berths.
Our fuel dock, situated on the outermost hammerhead, is accessible at all tides. |
