Nearby Portavadie Marina has had significant investment over the last five years. It is home to many a fine craft, a restaurant, a hotel and self catering accommodation.

The community of Tighnabruaich and Kames centres on yachting life and it is a well known base and port for sailors on Scotland’s west coast who enjoy some of the world’s finest sailing waters. There is a sailing and windsurfing school and the bay is also the base of the Kyles of Bute Sailing Club. The Waverley, the world’s last seagoing paddle steamer, comes into Tighnabruaich during the summer season. Tighnabruaich and Kames are considered to be amongst Argyll’s most cherished villages, in a sheltered position on the west side of the Kyles of Bute. The area developed as a fishing village and in the 19th century became a popular day trip destination, served by steamers from Glasgow.
