Lowestoft was historically a combined fishing and commercial port with extensive ship building facilities. The fishing fleets have reduced due to depleted fish stocks and European quota limitation's. The commercial traffic has also reduced from its heyday and the major shipyards have now gone. But in place of these activities, the port is going through significant grow in leisure boating.

Over the last couple of years Lowestoft has seen local boatyards installing marina quality pontoon berths. The port operators, Associated British Ports, have to date, installed two brand new marina developments with more to come.

Lowestoft also provides the Southern Gateway to the Broads via Locks at Oulton Broad.
