A community-owned pontoon next to Raasay’s ferry terminal

The Raasay pontoon  suffered storm damage during the winter and needs to be repaired. Unfortunately, this means we can’t give a reopening date yet but we’ll provide any updates as soon as we can. 

Raasay’s pontoon opened in June 2023, and will operate from Easter to October each year (exact dates will vary). Accessed from the ferry car park, there is a pathway and two access bridges leading down to the pontoon which is oriented east to west. Remaining afloat at all tides, there are three finger pier berths and a hammerhead at the end of the pontoon.

The pontoon can accommodate up to 24 boats. There are:

• 8 berths for 12m yachts
• (NB on neap tides, yachts up to 15m can use the finger pier berths and the hammerhead)
• 3 berths for 10m yachts
• 2 berths for 8m yachts
• 6 berths for 6m boats
• 5 berths for <5m boats

Follow the pontoon on Facebook.
