Oban Bay Marine ..facilities for all... The aim of the community company known as Oban Bay Marine is to promote and develop improvements within Oban Bay, which will provide facilities for local and visiting pleasure and commercial vessels up to 24 metres |
our initial aim
Oban Bay Marine is a community company formed with the aim of improving facilities for small boat owners and users in and around Oban on the West Coast Coast of Scotland.
These proposed facilities
- would be of considerable benefit to local boat users and operators
- would be attractive to visitors
- would bring money into the local community
- and give Argyll and Bute Council a unique opportunity to capitalise on Oban's exceptional marine location in the heart of the West Coast with its longstanding maritime heritage.

Oban Bay
This is the same model as used by the very successful Tobermory
Harbour Association and is attractive to external funding bodies.
In
return for Argyll and Bute Council's co-operation, Oban Bay Marine
offers access to sources of funding not available to the Council
from organisations such as Highlands and Islands Enterprise, The
Crown Estate, the Big Lottery and the European Union.
This would make
our proposals exceptional value for money to the Council.
