KETCHIKAN YACHT CLUB

The Ketchikan Yacht Club, located in Thomas Basin at the southern end of the Ketchikan Cruise Ship dock, is a favorite stop of many independent cruisers to and from Alaska. We are located at the mouth of Ketchikan Creek, a stone’s throw from the famous Creek Street Historical district, and only a few blocks from machinist and mechanical services, restaurants, bars and tourist attractions. Some excellent hiking and bicycling opportunities are also in this area. The Yacht Club manages float 2 in Thomas Basin; all slips belong to members. Club rules require that whenever a KYC member removes his boat from the stall, the return date must be written on the small signout board. Any day the slip is vacant and the owner has not posted a return date, that slip is available for transient moorage. Due to our remote location, we are unable to make true reciprocity agreements with other yacht clubs. We do welcome and invite you to our club and events. Our daily moorage rates are determined by slip size and are similar to those charged by the Ketchikan Harbor Department. Our facilities are the best in town with a warm clubhouse, kitchen, showers, and telephone, in a floathouse next to the dock; we have several social activities each week and are always happy to meet new guest cruisers.
