Guide
Approach and anchoring
Lies within the channel that carries the cruise-ship and ferry traffic of Ketchikan, so keep clear of the marked fairway. The bottom is rock, holding can be poor, so set the anchor with care and check it holds. Open to the north and east.
Practical
A private dock sits 0.9 miles to the east. Ketchikan Thomas Basin is 1.7 miles to the east and offers transient moorage, fuel and provisions in town.
