Charter Trips/Workboats

All small commercial vessels including charter trips and workboats need to be licensed to operate commercially out of Newhaven, be based within Newhaven or work within the Newhaven Harbour limits.

This includes vessels used for charter trips and leisure trips who charge a fee (angling, diving, bird watching, sightseeing, wakeboarding, skiing, etc…), or vessels used as workboats.

It excludes vessels used solely for the pleasure of family & friends who are NOT paying any fees and vessels owned and operated by not-for-profit organisations, clubs or charities, who are members of, and comply with, a nationally recognised coding scheme such as for rowing clubs, diving clubs and Sea Cadets.

Any vessel not listed below that charges a fee for services may not be safe, is operating illegally and should be reported immediately to the Harbour Master or the MCA.
