About OBCB

Boats have been mooring in Cardingmill Bay for a very long time! and by 1985 moves were afoot to formalise the mooring arrangements here.

Following a public meeting in Spring 1990, Cardingmill Bay Mooring Owners Association (CBMOA) was formed; and formal leases to look after the interests of private moorings holders with the then DoT and Crown Estate finally agreed by the end of that year.

A mooring area was reserved for visitor's use - which has since become home to 16 visitor moorings.

The moorings area stretches from Ardcuan in the south to adjacent to the Northern Lighthouse Pier in the north.

At an Special General Meeting held in September 2012, members of CBMOA voted to transfer its assets, leases and responsibilities to Oban Bay Community Berthing Ltd and thereafter  wind up the Association.
