Find information on facilities, mooring, berthing and parking at Scarborough Harbour.
Scarborough is home to approximately 300 leisure craft, the majority of which moor within the outer harbour. These range from chain moorings and alongside berths to pontoon moorings.
The leisure craft are serviced by our local port services staff who are located on the West Pier.
Visitors are restricted to a maximum stay of 14 days.
A slipway is located on Sandside for launching. A full range of facilities are available for vessel owners. There are plenty of local amenities.
All vessels exceeding 37 metres overall length require pilotage.
Jetskis are not permitted in Scarborough harbour limits. This includes the south bay of Scarborough.
The moorings available for leisure craft in Scarborough are:
Floating pontoon moorings are located in the inner harbour and berths are available in 8, 10 and 12 metres. Water is available free of charge. Electricity can be added to a smart card at Local Port Services.
These are located in the south-west corner of the harbour below the lighthouse. Water is available free of charge. Electricity can be added to a smart card at Local Port Services. Vessels must be capable of taking the ground in a soft sandy bottom.
These are located in the centre of the outer harbour between the East Pier and Vincent Pier. These are mainly reserved for deeper drafted fin keel yachts with cradles. Berth holders are required to supply their own cradles and moorings.
These are located alongside the Vincent and East Pier in the outer harbour. These moorings dry out so vessels must be capable of safely taking the ground in an upright position.
We operate a waiting list procedure. It is £25 to join the waiting list and this deposit will be deducted from the first invoice when a berth is accepted.
