Caledonian Canal terminus and Moray Firth base

Inverness sits at the northeastern end of the Caledonian Canal, so it sees both sea-going boats preparing for the canal transit and inland craft coming out to the Moray Firth.

That mix means engineers here deal with both salt and fresh water systems, and with the fendering, warping and lock damage that a canal transit tends to produce.

What owners book at Inverness

  • Pre- and post-canal-transit hull and fender checks
  • Engine servicing before long inland passages
  • Topside scuff and gelcoat repair after lock work
  • Mast lowering and re-stepping for the canal

Local timing: Canal traffic peaks midsummer; mast up-and-down services are booked out weeks ahead in June and July.
