Update April 2022
Written by Don Thomson 3 | 21st Apr 2022
Prices have changed but I can find no recent improvement to the intentions for doing something to this facility.
New website

Penzance Harbour is now managed by Cornwall Council Harbours Board. The website is www.cornwallharbours.co.uk
UPDATE SPRING 2018
Written by Don Thomson | 1st May 2018
Plans for the improvement of Penzance for yachts and leisure craft are still just that, plans. The plans for opening up the quarry to the south of Newlyn have gained new life and our enquiries have discovered that the MDL meetings with the Cornwall Council are scheduled. But, everything at Penzance remains as was, even the harbour dues.
Update Spring 2016
Written by dononshytalk | 10th May 2016
These notes were reviewed by Don in May 2016. The discussions about Penzance's future continue with input from every conceivable body of authority; but they remain that, discussions. Note that the cargo vessel Gry is being replaced by a bigger version. Their charging system has changed and they now charge a basic £1.50 per metre across the board
Update March 2014
Written by dononshytalk | 19th Mar 2014
The harbour and its facilities remain unchanged as do prices. We understand that the plans for a marina development collapsed through finance and the future of Penzance remains unclear; the various committees and interested groups involved have yet to agree on a way forward.

Update 2013
Written by dononshytalk | 31st Jan 2013
Penzance Harbour notes were updated by Don T on the 30th January 2013. Plans that were in the pipeline for the expansion of Penzance and the building of a new marina at Penlee are on hold for the moment. Note that the prices for a berth in Penzance have been adjusted downwards for the 2013 season.
