Activity itinerary

Inner Harbor (Pass by)

Begin your boat tour at the Baltimore Water Taxi stop near Harborplace and set out across the city's historic waterfront. As your guide shares stories spanning more than three centuries, take in panoramic sightseeing views of the Inner Harbour, one of Baltimore's most recognisable destinations. The live narration connects the harbor’s maritime heritage, commercial growth, and ongoing environmental restoration efforts while travellers remain comfortably seated on board.

Fort McHenry National Monument and Historic Shrine (Pass by)

Cruise out towards Fort McHenry and view the famous star-shaped fort from the water. This historic site played a pivotal role during the War of 1812, when American forces successfully defended Baltimore against British attack. Travellers will see the fort from the boat as the guide explains its significance in American history and its connection to the writing of the United States national anthem. This is a sightseeing pass-by from the water, and the tour does not include entry to the fort.

201 E Pratt St (Pass by)

As the boat returns towards Harborplace, continue along Baltimore’s waterfront while learning how the harbour connected the city to the wider world through trade, immigration, industry, and maritime activity. Along the route, hear stories about Frederick Douglass’s escape from Baltimore and the harbor’s ongoing role in conservation and watershed restoration. The outdoor cruise offers excellent photo opportunities and a unique perspective on Baltimore’s past and present before returning to the departure point.
