Sitka has a number of marinas all managed by the harbourmaster but visitors will normally be allocated a berth in the northernmost (Thomsen) harbour which has power and potable water on the pontoons and showers/toilets where the pontoon system joins the shore. Call the harbourmaster on Ch 16 for a berth allocation. 

Alternatively it is possible to anchor in the harbour in the large area between the breakwater and Thomsen harbour either to the north or south of the main fairway. Anchorage is also possible to the south of the harbour bridge in an area south of Crescent Bay marina. Both are within an easy dinghy ride of town. 

Many people consider Sitka to be the most pleasant town In SE Alaska and it is certainly the most convenient place from which to do a major re-provision or crew change. An excellent super market and liquor store are less than 5 minutes walk away, propane bottles can be refilled from the petrol station next to the harbour, and a launderette, hardware and marine stores are within 10 minutes walk. Sitka Sound Seafoods sells excellent vacuum packed Salmon, Halibut, Cod and Crab from a small shop attached to the fish processing plant. The airport has direct connecting flights to Seattle and is a very short taxi ride from the harbour.
