Throughout the 1890s, the Skegness Pier Company was recorded over 100,000 annual admissions, managing to carry forward a balance of around £400 each year.
By 1899, a Jubilee clock had been erected on the promednade, funded by £600 raised from public subscription costs.
A popular boat trip from 1882 was a steamboat service that operated between the pier and The Wash and Hunstanton in Norfolk.
Due to the popularity, local businessmen established the Skegness Steamboat Company to charter boats for the holiday season.
Services ceased by the end of 1910 due to a buildup of sand at The Wash, which made the journey difficult and resulted in the removal of the unsafe landing stage.

In March 1919, the pier was damaged by a drifting schooner vessel named Europa, creating a breach of 150 feet (46 m) with a temporary platform erected to cover the gap that would last until 1939, at which point a full restoration was untaken, costing £3272 (equivalent to £199,261 in 2018).
