Harbour Dues

Check the table below to find out the cost of your harbour dues then complete the Application Form and submit it with your payment to the Harbour Office.

All vessels using Chichester Harbour MUST pay harbour dues. The revenue derived from harbour dues and from mooring fees is used by the Chichester Harbour Conservancy to meet the full cost of the management of the Harbour. This covers giving advice and assistance, maintenance of navigational aids and the enforcement of byelaws. This applies if your boat is kept on a permanent mooring, in one of the marinas or if you are visiting for a week or just a day. Harbour dues are deemed not to have been paid unless the plaque is displayed.

• All dues are valid from 1 April and expire on 31 March
• All rates reduce by 50% for vessels entering the Harbour after 1st October
• All prices include VAT
• Harbour dues can be purchased at:
  o The Harbour Office, Itchenor in person, by phone or post
  o The Harbour Office, Emsworth
  o From Patrol Staff either on the hard at Itchenor or afloat
  o From most sailing clubs & marinas (visitors dues only)

Pay & Display

Following up on a vessel which is not displaying a Harbour dues plaque wastes as much time and money as pursuing a case of non-payment. For this reason, the penalty for non-display is the same as for non-payment, namely three times penalty and / or the possibility of your vessel being impounded. Those who can be troubled to comply with the law do not want to see their money wasted - Please Pay and Display.

Application Form

Please print out and complete the harbour dues application form. Applications can also be made over the phone on 01243 512301.
