The Port welcomes overnight and day-use visitors but does not publish an unattended tender-only policy. Obtain an assigned guest/day-use spot.

Hours / return constraint: Code access, security cameras and security personnel. Office 9:00 AM-5:00 PM Tuesday-Sunday, closed Monday. Obtain berth and code in advance.

Verified route rangeBremerton MarinaManette restaurants
6–13 minutes$10–$22moderate availability risk

Request the return before the restaurant closes; use the marina street address for pickup.

Taxi backup: Kitsap City Cab; published standard rate is $3 pickup plus $3/mile, subject to confirmation.

The prominent crow-flight mileage is a geographic comparison from Jerisich Dock, not a route distance. Road, marine, time, and fare figures here are planning ranges, not live quotes. The named dock panel uses verified landing information where available; otherwise it explicitly tells you to confirm before relying on it.
