The inner harbour dates back to 1774, and the outer harbour to 1888. However the outer harbour walls were washed away in the storms of the great blizzard in March 1891. They were rebuilt and completed in 1897. Much expensive work has been carried out over the years to maintain the structures, culminating in £1.25 million spent in 1998 to strengthen the outer pier. Mevagissey harbour is a Trust Port, and is also registered as a Charity.

We welcome visiting yachts and will do our very best to accommodate them. Berths are available on the South pier, which is safe as long as the wind is not in the East. If wind is from the East and over force 3, it is strongly recommended to proceed to Fowey.
Fresh water is available from the inner harbour, however visiting boats must ask permission from the Harbour Office before entering the inner harbour. Visiting craft must not moor in the inner harbour.
For bilge keel yachts and twin hulls that can take the beach safely there is normally space available on the Sandy Beach on the East side of the West Quay.
There is a trot of 3 cylindrical visitors buoys, to moor fore and aft, inside the harbour mouth adjacent to the north pier.
