Gannet on her mooring in Cardingmill Bay Oban

All our day charters depart from Gannet's mooring in Cardingmill Bay Oban.

directions to Gannet's mooring

Gannet's mooring is located approximately
½ mile / 800 metres from the well signposted and easy to find Caledonian MacBrayne Ferry Terminal

Follow the road signs for the car ferry around Oban town centre. Drive past the Ferry Terminal entrance and continue along Gallanach Road, past the LightHouse Pier and the Manor Park Hotel on your right - the road is very narrow here with a sharp and blind left bend - then drive past the Dungallan House Hotel turn-in.

Another 300 metres along on your left you'll pass the Creagdhu Guest House, then 50 metres further on your right look out for the steps leading down to the shore and a little jetty situated directly opposite the Cardentrive Guest House.
