Marinas for boats over 24m with electric hook-up in Argyll and Bute
Marinas and harbours that say they take boats over 24m (80ft): a stated maximum length, or a published price for a boat that size. Canal sites that only take narrowboats are left out; see 70ft narrowboat moorings for those. Large yacht berths are few and often booked well ahead, so ask early. Berths with shore power, so you can run heating and charge batteries without the engine.
