The local Harbour Committee looks after navigation marks and administers the Carrick Pier where fishing boats land their catch of scallops, prawns, brown and velvet crabs. It has recently rebuilt the jetty alongside the shop, and the millennium has seen the installation of a superb pontoon off the jetty, making loading and unloading larger boats a much easier proposition. Intending visitors may like to view our Notes for Visiting Yachts page , and also Tidal Information. There is a slip alongside the jetty suitable for launching smaller boats. As well as being a centre for sailing, there are many power boats moored at Tayvallich, and divers and canoeists regularly visit the area.
Water skiing is popular in the summer months.
Moorings are administered by the Tayvallich Mooring Owners Association on behalf of the Crown Estate Office. In recent years the Sailing Club has seen the introduction of the Cygnets section for younger members who are taught to row, and then to sail.
