Troon Water Sports Hub, Troon (2026)

Troon Water Sports Centre (TWSC) is a not-for-profit Scottish Charitable Incorporated Organisation with a drive and determination to enhance Troon’s Community Beach and Waterfront facilities. Working alongside KiteSurf Scotland and other local community groups the vision is to harness the unique location and geographical features at Barassie Shorefront to increase participation in safe, affordable

and accessible water sports whilst providing a much-needed community space. Our Charitable Aims

- Build a financially sustainable social enterprise accessible to all members of the public.
- Promote Physical and Mental well-being through outdoor physical activity.
- Youth Development and potential realisation through opportunity.
- Community coherence through social inclusion.
- Promote and enhance Troon’s tourism potential.
- Compliment any local business and leisure facility. Troon is an iconic town on the Ayrshire coast blessed with beautiful beaches and a micro-climate that makes it one of the best places for non-motorised water sports. Troon is currently voted by RED BULL as the 4th best place in the UK to KiteSurf. Although Troon and Barassie have vast shorefronts and a large population, they have a relatively low participation in, and facilities supporting, water sports. It’s our aim to provide the following:

- Toilets and changing facilities including indoor and outdoor showers
- KiteSurfing instruction and hire
- Stand Up Paddle Boarding instruction and hire
- Windsurfing instruction and hire
- Dinghy Sailing
- Blokarts
- Wetsuit hire
- Marine and Environmental Awareness
- Coffee Shop
- Bookable Community / Training Space

Now we have found the owner of the mysterious water pipe that runs across the site, we have sent out “invitations to tender” to companies across the region. This allows them to submit a request to tender and start providing formal quotes.

We’re still progressing!
