24.04.09: Waverley Returns To Tarbert

The historic paddle steamer, The Waverley will be stopping in Tarbert once more this year.

The Waverley, the last publically active paddle steamer, popular with visitors will make 6 stops in the village this year offering people the chance to travel up and down Loch Fyne. The East Pier, which was thought to be unsafe, has undergone its annual inspection and minor repair ensuring it will be safe for the Waverley to take passengers aboard from Tarbert.

It is not clear how many years East Pier will be fit to welcome the Waverley, so dont delay, come to Tarbert and go for a unique boating experience on Loch Fyne and the Waverley.
