Aurora Basin
Aurora Basin sits right in downtown Juneau, making it one of the most centrally located marinas in Southeast Alaska — you can step off your boat and be in the heart of the city in minutes. It's managed by the City and Borough of Juneau's Docks and Harbors division, so the operation is well-run and reliable. The backdrop of mountains and the proximity to shops, restaurants, and the waterfront gives it a distinctly Alaskan small-city character that's hard to beat.
