UPDATE SPRING 2021
Written by Don Thomson 3 | 17th May 2021
I reviewed these notes in May 2021. I've checked the telephone numbers and those given above (and below) work fine. The Moray pay-on-line website has yet to be updated to reflect the £20 per night visiting fee.
Friendly HM and Fuel
Written by Mark Harbour Master Sailing Challenge | 22nd Feb 2021
Sep 2020. Simon is very friendly Assistant HM . Fuel available operated by volunteers so give them some notice! The Moray Council HM, Darren Bremner looks after Burghead, Hopeman, Buckie, Findhochy, Cullen and Portknockie. Website http://www.moray.gov.uk/moray_standard/page_74453.html.
Burghead is very commercial but friendly and room to tie up - you will have lots of fishermen watching you if the wind catches you on the fuel berth like I did! 01542 831700 or radio VHF Channel 16, working channel 12.

Change of Harbourmaster
Written by Treat-Mentor | 18th Dec 2018
There is no resident harbourmaster. An assistant harbour master from Buckie, Simon Forrest, now looks after Burghead. Contact (01542) 831700.

UPDATE Autumn 2018
Written by Don Thomson | 8th Nov 2018
This harbour was updated earlier in the year but I failed to note that here. The only change to note is that I entered here in the summer of 2017 ad found things very much as I had interpreted from various publications and websites.
Update Spring 2016
Written by dononshytalk | 4th Apr 2016
These notes were reviewed by Don in April 2016. This is still mainly a commercial harbour and rates for visiting boats have gone up a small amount in line with the rest of the Moray Council Harbours.
