Harbor Connector Route Updates 2026

The revised 2026 Harbor Connector Route 2 now links Canton, Maritime Park in Fells Point, and Locust Point.

Effective Monday, March 2, 2026, service along the Harbor Connector 2 Route will be extended to Maritime Park in Fells Point, providing better connectivity for city residents and visitors.  The route is being reconfigured so that it travels along a triangular route between three stops, rather than back and forth between the two existing stops of Canton and Locust Point.

“The Harbor Connector is a vital link in Baltimore City’s transportation network,” said Mayor Brandon M. Scott.  “By investing in our maritime infrastructure, we’re helping to drive economic growth, support environmental sustainability, and strengthen the long‑term resilience of our waterfront communities.”

Patrons who travel from Locust Point to Maritime Park will have more frequent opportunities to make this trip with the route expansion.  In addition, riders traveling from Maritime Park to Canton and back will be able to ride on a single boat, rather than having to stop and transfer vessels.

With this change, the Harbor Connector Route 2 will begin operating as a “peak service”, with ferry trips from 7:15 a.m. to 11:25 a.m., and again from 3:50 p.m. to 8 p.m. daily on weekdays.  In the mornings, the route will operate from Canton Waterfront Park to Locust Point, to Maritime Park and back to Canton on a 45-minute frequency.  This route will reverse during afternoon and evening service.

Also starting on March 2, the Harbor Connector Route 3 will modify its service hours.  The route will operate weekdays from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. with a 15-minute frequency.

“Baltimore’s harbor is one of our city’s greatest assets,” said Director McBeth.  “The Harbor Connector enhances the waterfront experience by providing a free, convenient way to travel across the harbor, all while supporting a cleaner and more sustainable transportation system.”

The Harbor Connector is a maritime extension of the Charm City Circulator.  This service is an integral part of the Baltimore harbor, allowing passengers to enjoy the city’s skyline and waterfront attractions from a unique perspective.  The Harbor Connector is an environmentally friendly transportation option, as it reduces an estimated 400,000 single-occupancy vehicle miles from city’s streets each year.

The expansion of the Harbor Connector Route 2 will operate with its existing fleet and budget. These service improvements were derived through the Water Transit Strategic Plan, which is Baltimore’s vision for the future of maritime activities in our city.  Building on the 2015 plan, this new strategy looks at service over the next decade to guide investments in water transit, ensure proper maintenance of our maritime infrastructure, and support continued operation of the Harbormaster Office.

The City of Baltimore is excited to expand service along the Harbor Connector Route 2 to enhance the vital link between Canton and Maritime Park.  This water transit service is a key part of the city’s transportation network, offering a unique blend of convenience, enjoyment, and sustainability.  By offering a free and convenient way to navigate the harbor, the Harbor Connector enhances the overall experience of exploring Baltimore’s waterfront.
