Distance, night return, and tender reality

Road / marine contextGenerally 0–8 road miles from the harbor core
Best boat baseGig Harbor anchorage or guest moorage
From that baseMost downtown stops are within roughly 0.2–2 miles; Purdy and Fox Island are farther
Ride/cab planning range$10–$24 for many local harbor trips; planning range, not a live quote
In daylight

Walk the waterfront core or use the e-bikes in daylight; use the exact map for the named start point.

After dark

Do not make the return ride the adventure. Use a rideshare or cab for anything beyond the lit harbor core.

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.
