Collafirth

The marina and pier, situated at Saltoo in Collafirth was built in 1988 on the site of an old Norwegain whaling station where the fishing industry lives on. Electricity can be arranged at the marina and approach poses no problems at any state of the tide.

CRUISING COLLAFIRTH

Yell sound is good for cruising water and has secluded bays either shore at Southladie Voe, Burra Voe, Collafirth, Queyfirth, Ollaberry and Gluss Voe which provide shelter, depending on wind direction. Yell Sound's north eastern shores are bleak and rocky, but Walfirth which has a small at it's head, is a very sheltered anchorage in any weather.

Sullom Voe has and anchorage at it's head, on the north side of Brae, and in Garths Voe. It's a long sheltered sea loch noted for it's wildlife, particularly otters, seals and sea ducks. Despite the huge oil terminal at its eastern end, handling some of the largest tankers in the world, Sullom Voe remains one of Shetland's most tranquil and unspoilt sea lochs.

At the time of writing a marina is planned at Toft, which is the ferry terminal for Yell.

Lunna Ness has two anchorages, the landlocked Boatsroom Voe and West Lunna Voe, not quite so sheltered. Both have fish farm piers where visitors may lie by arrangement with the proprietors.
