After electing to bat St Just lost Ellis May, bowled by Mehran Sanwal in the first over.
Neil Curnow chipped Giles Lawrence to mid on and when Rhys Brownfield lost his off stump to Tom Dinnis it was 37-3 in the seventh over.
Philip Nicholas joined Chami Edirisinghe to add 58 for the fourth wicket before Edirisinghe was caught behind, flashing at Sanwal, to make it 95-4 in the 13th over.
Nicholas fell in the 17th over for 53 off 37 balls, and Penzance were able to restrict the total to 153 with only nine runs coming off the last two overs.
The Penzance reply got off to an impressive start as skipper Brad Wadlan struck seven boundaries off the first 16 balls of the innings.
Christian Purchase struck May for a straight six, but two balls later skewed a lobbed catch to third man.
Matt Stevens swiftly departed as he skied Logan Curnow to May at cover.
May then superbly held on to a driven return catch from Wadlan, who hit 9 boundaries in his 37 off 22 balls.
Then one of 'the' Vinter Cup Final catches as Nicholas spectacularly dived low in Sunny Corner to remove Charlie Sharland, much to the delight of his team mates who, to a man, ran to congratulate - 63-4 in the ninth over - game on!
Next over, May held onto another superb catch at long on to remove Jack Paull for three.
May's third catch saw the end of Jonny Ludlam, and he followed up by holding on to Sanwal, again at long on 86-7.
Nicholas completed a superb game to remove Grant Stone (18) and Giles Lawrence, and Joe Clifton-Griffith picked up the final wicket with 14 balls to spare.
It ended Penzance's seven successive final wins on the field, having beaten St Just by seven wickets in 2022 before losing the game by default due to an ineligible player.
