Tresco Moorings
New Grimsby Sound and Old Grimsby Harbour offer superb deep water moorings for visiting yachts and cruisers.
Please note the following temporary changes, in place due to the Coronavirus pandemic.
Water, waste and toilet facilities are available on New Grimsby Quay, and a shower is available at the Cottage Department near the Island Office. There are no fuelling facilities on Tresco this year; the nearest fuel is at St Mary's Quay. Mooring fees will be collected from your boat and are payable in cash only.
Please familiarise yourself with all UK Government Coronavirus information and any Notices to Mariners from St Mary's Harbour. If you live in an area with local Coronavirus restrictions, please review the official guidance on holidaying outside the area before you travel. If you are travelling from outside the UK, please ensure you are aware of the UK Border Control Coronavirus guidance. You will not be able to self-isolate on Tresco.
Moorings are allocated on a first-come, first-served basis and cannot be pre-booked, but if we can be of any assistance please contact our Harbour team by email or on 01720 423653 or 07778 601237.
The fee for use of a mooring, including refuse disposal and fresh water, is £20 per night. The mooring fee is collected on the water.

New Grimsby Slipway
We recently completed a new slipway at New Grimsby Harbour, with significant support from the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF). This slipway has allowed us to greatly improve the efficiency of our maintenance facilities for our fleet of boats operated by Tresco Boat Services.
