The council said it will spend almost £4.4m running the harbours in the 2026/27 financial year.
Having received a projected £1.5m in fish tolls in 2025/26, the authority has set its expectations slightly lower for the following year at £1.4m.
Other sources of income include pontoon berths at a projected £820,000, mooring fees at a projected £273,000 and visitor and slipway fees at £110,000.
Staffing costs of more than £1m are the biggest planned outgoing. Planned capital costs include £282,000 on Brixham Harbour regeneration and £95,000 towards the replacement of the Torquay Town Dock.
The council plans to spend £450,000 on harbour repairs and maintenance and £230,000 on security and CCTV. The budget for security has been increased by 26% while other operational budgets have gone up by 2.5%.
