Funter Bay Seaplane Base (FNR/PANR) is a remote public seaplane base on the northwest coast of Admiralty Island in Southeast Alaska. It serves the small Funter Bay community, nearby cabins, fishing boats, and recreationists, with no road connection to Juneau or the mainland. The base is a designated water landing area with limited float access, acting as a gateway to Admiralty Island National Monument and the Mansfield Peninsula.
💡 Local Tip
Tides and wind can change float and shore access quickly, so plan around low tide if you need to move gear between the water and land, and carry a satellite messenger or PLB since cell service is spotty.
🚖 Getting There
Most visitors arrive by chartered seaplane from Juneau, typically a 20-30 minute flight depending on weather and aircraft. By water, Funter Bay can be reached by boat from Juneau or nearby communities, but there is no road access. Arrange transfers in advance because services at the bay are minimal and cell coverage can be unreliable.
