Work Begins on Transformational Marina Slipway Project for Tarbert Harbour

The Tarbert Harbour Marina Slipway Project is a significant infrastructure investment for the village - a sign of intent from the THA board to ensure Tarbert remains a thriving village for many years to come.

This new Marina Slipway Project will comprise of a modern and environmentally friendly Watercraft Recovery Slipway with vessel wash down facility, while the Car Park Extension with up to 30 new spaces will deliver greatly welcomed capacity and economic benefits for the village.

In addition to the new Marina Slipway, there are plans for the creation of a Community Water Sports and Activity Hub building and Kayak Pontoon, to complement the new slipway. This will enhance the wellbeing of the local population and provide better recreational access to the water for families and individuals of all ages and abilities, creating a more inclusive and welcoming environment for the whole community, as well as skills and training opportunities.

Once complete, the Marina Slipway will provide a much-desired, safe and modern service to lift leisure and small commercial all year round. The facility will offer winter hard standing for vessels, with packages available. The project completion date is 5th March, 2027.
