Dillingham is on Nushagak Bay at the mouth of the Nushagak River, an inlet of Bristol Bay, an arm of the Bering Sea in the North Pacific, in southwestern Alaska.
The Port of Dillingham stands as a pivotal regional hub catering to numerous villages in southwest Alaska. It provides an extensive array of amenities including docking facilities, a boat yard, and comprehensive marine services tailored to the needs of commercial fishing, cargo, and recreational vessels.
The boat harbor provides protected moorage for up to 400 vessels up to 32 feet in length, and for large vessels up to 80 feet in length with contact of the Harbor Master prior to arrival.
The dock assumes a significant role as a primary assembly point for the bountiful salmon fisheries of Bristol Bay. Distinguished as the sole sheltered harbor in Bristol Bay, the boat harbor guarantees secure mooring for a fleet exceeding 400 Bristol Bay gillnetters and set netters. The comprehensive services encompass access to potable water, disposal facilities for waste oil and refuse, crane services catering to the fleet, and the convenience of an ice machine for ice sales.
