Description: The state-owned Rocky Gutierrez Airport on Japonski Island has a paved and lighted runway. In addition to daily jet service, several scheduled air taxis and air charters are available. The City and Borough of Sitka operates five small boat harbors with 1,350 stalls and a seaplane base on Sitka Sound. There is a breakwater at Thompson Harbor. A boat launch, haul-out, boat repairs, and other services exist. Cruise ships anchor in the harbor and lighter visitors to shore. The Old Sitka Dock, privately owned, is the only deep water moorage facility in Sitka capable of accommodating large vessels. The Alaska Marine Highway System (state ferry) has a docking facility approximately 6 miles north of town. The ferry serves Sitka several times a week, with a twelve-hour run to Juneau. Freight arrives by barge and cargo plane
