Early days of Caley marina

Caley Marina is situated on the Caledonian Canal just south of the top flight at Muirtown Locks, and a short drive from the centre of the capital city of the Highlands, Inverness. The company started life as Caley Cruisers in 1969 when Jim and Elizabeth Hogan bought a Norwegian built Myra 21 and made it available for hire on Loch Ness and the Caledonian Canal. They gradually increased the fleet and in the space of 8 years it had grown to number 16 boats, all Princess motor cruisers built by Marine Projects in Plymouth. In 1978 Jim and Elizabeth purchased the property alongside the cruisers location which was then known as Ness Marine and thus, Caley Marina was born. 38 years later it is still a family run business with daughter Audrey Hogan running Caley Cruisers with a fleet of 26 modern cruisers and son Jamie Hogan in charge of the marina and workshop.
