Harbor Connector

Departs Fells Point

The free one, and the one almost nobody visiting knows about. Baltimore City runs three commuter routes across the harbor on weekdays: Locust Point to Fell's Point every 15 minutes from 6am, Federal Hill to Pier 5 every 15 minutes from 7am, and a slower loop tying Locust Point, Fell's Point and Canton together every 45 minutes. It costs nothing, it crosses water the buses have to drive around, and on a weekday it is simply the fastest way between two waterfront neighborhoods.

Verified

Verified Sep 28, 2026 against Baltimore City DOT's own Harbor Connector page for the three routes, their piers, the weekday hours, the 15 and 45 minute frequencies, the March 2, 2026 changes and the four days it does not run, read Sep 28, 2026; Harbor Boating, which runs the boats under contract with the city, for the fleet-wide accessibility answer and the service animal rule, from https://www.baltimorewatertaxi.com/faq, read Sep 28, 2026. Facts can drift; if something here is wrong, tell us and we’ll fix it. How we check.

Not yet confirmed

The city publishes no accessibility statement for the Connector itself, so the access line is Harbor Boating's answer for the whole fleet it runs. Harbor Boating's own Connector pages return 404, so the timetable is the city's.
