Although still busy with commercial shipping, the development of Wisbech as a harbour for small craft has generated much interest and from May 2000, Wisbech Yacht Harbour received a major extension of the pontoon mooring facilities, adjoining a new square which will contain restaurants and shops. The extended Yacht Harbour will also complement proposals for the Fens Waterway link, which is seeing almost £150 million being invested to provide 50 miles of new navigable waterways as well as improved access and facilities for a further 100 miles. The redevelopment also ensures that Wisbech continues to operate as a busy working port in that maintenance and inspection facilities for commercial vessels up to 100 tonnes are being provided for the first time.
