Distance, night return, and tender reality

Road / marine contextRoughly 28–42 road miles from downtown Gig Harbor
Best boat basePoulsbo marina/anchorage or another confirmed Kitsap berth
From that baseDowntown Poulsbo stops are often 0.2–2 miles from the waterfront; rural venues can be 5–12 miles away
Ride/cab planning range$10–$24 around the Poulsbo core; $25–$55 for rural/longer Kitsap trips; planning ranges
In daylight

Excellent for a daylight e-bike cluster after a boat move; rural shoulders require route scrutiny.

After dark

Use a rideshare, taxi, or prearranged pickup for rural venues. Do not count on a dark shoulder ride.

Dinghy landing

Port of Poulsbo guest moorage: Excellent walk-to-town base when the Port assigns the tender or accepts it under the four-hour/guest program and explains gate access.

The Port offers guest and four-hour moorage, but no tender-only policy is published. Reserve or obtain a guest assignment.

Hours / return constraint: Main office weekdays 8:00 AM-4:30 PM; guest/fuel operations 8:00 AM-4:00 PM daily. After-hours gate procedure is not published; obtain instructions before leaving.

  • DO NOT ASSUME an unoccupied slip is open visitor space.
  • DO NOT ASSUME the four-hour rate continues overnight.
  • DO NOT ASSUME late pedestrian access without marina instructions.

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.
