Kip Marina

Kip Marina sits at the confluence of the Kip Water and the Firth of Clyde, near the village of Inverkip in Inverclyde, Scotland.

It holds the distinction of being Scotland's first marina, opening in 1971 with 250 berths at a time when only three such facilities existed in the entire UK. It has since grown to over 600 protected pontoon berths accommodating vessels up to 24 metres.

The marina carries a 5 Gold Anchor rating and offers a practical layout with wide water access channels and pontoons oriented to face the prevailing wind. Boat storage on hard standing is also available for up to 150 vessels.

Its position on the Clyde makes it a well-regarded base for sailing to nearby destinations including Arran, Bute, and the Cumbraes.
