ADM 175 Records of service of the Coastguard 1816-1947
www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/records/looking-for-person/coastguard.htm
www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/records/research-guides/coastguard.htm
Huge quantities of digitized information relating to movements of personnel etc. are available for downloading from the National Archives @ Kew, many at no (financial ;D) cost.
This is serious research in original records.
However, each of the many files is Large; and they are searchable only by your own eyes (although it looks as if each book has an index in the first few pages of these handwritten books, as you would expect.)
As an example, I have downloaded the 1st file in the list that took my interest: ADM 175/8 England Part 1 Plymouth to Carlisle 1862 -1866, which is 137Mb (well, it is a whole book!).
Each page is headed up Station; Port; District.
Penzance District runs from page 62 – 75 (out of 187 pages total), to give an idea.
For those seriously interested in tracing their own ancestors' movements within the Coastguard Service, a personal search of the potentially relevant sub-files of ADM 175 would seem to be the way to go, having first established the ancestor's whereabouts at the 10 yearly interval of the censuses or sporadic Directory information.
I do not believe there would be any other way to find this precise information.
The webpages regarding Coastguards and Customs men etc. seem to be primarily collated census & Directory information.
Here are extracts of entries that caught my eye, and to give a feel for information in these original documents:

I'm afraid it's not feasible for me to trawl through to look for a particular name beyond the above.
