Small-craft facilities.–The city operates four small-boat basins and two grids at Sitka. A fourth basin is operated by the U.S. Forest Service. These facilities are on the E side of the harbor, except for the city-operated small-boat basins in Crescent Bay and SealingCove. The city harbormaster with an office at the City Float enforces a 3-knot speed limit and a no-wake law in the city basins and a 5-knot speed limit in the main harbor channel makes berth assignments in the city basins, and controls the use of the grids. The harbormaster can be contacted on VHF-FM channel 16 (156.80 MHz) and by telephone (907-747-3439).
