Harbour Dues & Charges
All vessels using Chichester Harbour must purchase a harbour dues plaque. The plaque must then be displayed on the vessel. Instructions are given on the back of the plaque.
Should a vessel be found by our Patrol team in Chichester Harbour waters twice without a plaque displayed an immediate penalty of three times the annual harbour dues plus an administrative charge of £50.00 will be levied in accordance with Section 75 of the Chichester Harbour Act 1971.
The mooring rates shown are for Premium moorings in the Itchenor Channel. The same size mooring may be available at a cheaper rate in other parts of the harbour.
Visitor Mooring Rates: £40 per week Applicable for all lengths of vessels. A maximum of a two week visit only, £100 per week thereafter: applies between 1 June - 1 October
