Payment can be made at The New Inn, The Ruin Beach Café, the Island Office on Tresco, or directly to the harbour team on the water.

Facilities at New Grimsby Quay include drinking water, waste disposal and toilets. Showers are available at the Tresco Cottage Department, located near the Island Office.
