Boat Hire on Orkney Lochs
Recently we have been receiving a number of enquiries regarding boat hire
on the Orkney Lochs. Over the past few seasons the number of local land
owners making boat hire available has decreased probably due to the rising
costs involved in offering this service.
Local OTFA members in general do not hire out their own boats, engines and
equipment but a few local anglers offer a ghillie service with boats and
motors on all the lochs but again do not advertise and rely on word of mouth.
The aforementioned if by far your safest option and should guarantee excellent
boats, motors and fishing – but comes at a price.
To our knowledge the following are at present hiring boats on our lochs:
Harray Loch: Merkister Hotel, telephone: 01856 771366
Boardhouse: Barony Hotel, telephone 01856 721327 or
Mr W Hay, telephone 01856 841722
Hundland: Mr R.Hourston, telephone: 01856 721275
Jim Sinclair, telephone 01856 771257
Swannay: Mr R Breck, telephone: 01856 721281
If you would like to email Jim Adams through the web site
contact form he can put you in touch with some local ghillie
