Supporters packed into the island football club's Park Lane ground as the Gulls were handed the Ryman League Premier Division trophy following their 2-1 Good Friday triumph at Thurrock.
The win secured them the Championship Cup and promotion to the Nationwide Conference.
The trophy was presented by league secretary Nick Robinson and three-week-old Sienna Potter, whose dad Danny is the first team goalkeeper, found herself part of the celebrations when she was placed in the Championship Cup.
Fan Paul Tomms, 32, of Canvey, said: "This was a fantastic weekend for us. It is a dream come true and we are simply marching on to greater things. It's great!
"It's a real morale booster for us all and the team is fantastic."
