Sitka has stunning mountains and a quaint town that feels like the 1800’s. The people there are very friendly and welcoming. I can’t think of one bad thing about this port.

If you make a stop in this port, save room for a meal at a local pub called Bay View Pub and probably the best fish and chips I've ever had. I asked the waitress if I'd like 'rock fish' and she said yes. She didn't lie. Right in town, second floor.
