Gig Harbor
Gig Harbor is an inlet about one mile long on the west side of the south entrance to Colvos Passage abreast Point Defiance. The town of Gig Harbor extends along the west shore and the head of the harbor. It is the home port of many pleasure craft and fishing boats.
Gig Harbor has a boatyard with three marine railways and one crane. The larger of the three railways can handle craft to 150 tons for hull and engine repairs. There are many private piers and wharves, including one gasoline float. There are many marinas here. Berths, gasoline, diesel fuel, water, ice, launching ramps, and marine supplies are available in the harbor. Most of the pleasure craft moor at one of the marinas at the head of the harbor.
