Distance, night return, and tender reality

Road / marine contextRoughly 28–36 road miles from downtown Gig Harbor
Best boat baseBremerton Marina or another confirmed downtown berth
From that baseMost downtown stops are roughly 0.2–2.5 miles from the marina
Ride/cab planning range$9–$20 for many downtown/local trips; planning range, not a live quote
In daylight

Walk or e-bike the downtown waterfront cluster in daylight.

After dark

Use a short rideshare or cab when the route leaves the lit downtown grid.

Dinghy landing

Bremerton Marina guest moorage: Strong secure downtown landing when the marina assigns the tender and provides gate access.

Verified marine-access recordBremerton Marina guest moorageCall and confirm before relying on it

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.
