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.
