Irvine Harbour Company will provide improved facilities for visitors from both land and sea to the harbourside area of Irvine. There is a symbiotic relationship between marine users and harbourside users, the more boats that enter and use the area, the more attractive the environment.

To commence this process, Irvine Harbour Company is undertaking studies to assess the suitability of rising pontoons on the Irvine Wharfs. Initially this would provide an improved visitor halt for overnight stays. This facility would then be developed into a larger marine facility to cater for those wishing to stay longer or keep their boats at Irvine Harbour.

We are also discussing proposals with Urban Splash, the selected developer for the Irvine Bay URC Harbourside project to ensure harmony of projects for the benefit of the area.

Until facilities are up to expected standards on the Clyde with step on/off provision the Irvine Harbour Company will not be charging visitors for one night stays!
