 Peel : Profile
Peel is the only real harbour on the west coast of the island. It is famous for its kippers, which are reputed to be some of the best to be found anywhere in the UK.
There is now a tidal gate across the inner harbour entrance to allow vessels to remain afloat. There are no pontoons in place yet, so boats will have to raft up. Access is about 2 hours each side of high water.
In the outer harbour, there is a dredged channel alongside the breakwater, giving 5 metres at low water. There are also four visitors' buoys. Shelter is good except in strong NE to NW winds.
Showers are at the rear of Peel Sailing Club, in Crown Street. Get the key code from the Harbourmaster.
