Scottish marina offers development opportunities

A profitable marina and holiday business with access to the stunning island network off the west coast of Scotland has come to market with further development opportunities.

Craobh (pronounced Croove) Marina, which sits within a natural harbour on the north shore of the Craignish peninsula in Argyll, includes 200 full-service berths, a facilities building, car park, boatyard, workshops, six holiday cottages, a three-bedroom house and a staff flat.
The estate comprises over 125 acres (50.6 ha) of freehold land and 44 acres (18 ha) of water/harbour bed, which is leased from the Crown Estate. Around 15.6 acres (6.3 ha) of the land has been allocated for mixed-use development in line with the Argyll and Bute Local Development Plan adopted in February 2024.
Craobh Marina was developed in the early 1980s by linking a group of islands together using a system of stone causeways to create a sheltered position that is accessible at all states of the tide. The pontoons are secured by chains and anchors in a deep-water harbour.
The marina was sold in 1993 to privately-owned Holt Leisure Group and the business has recently been removed from the group’s other marina and leisure businesses and established as Craobh Marina Ltd in preparation for a shareholder retirement sale.
