East Boston ferry service returns next week with weekday and weekend routes
Ferry service is coming back to East Boston.
Weekday service is set to resume on Monday, March 30, 2026, with weekend routes returning shortly after on Saturday, April 4, 2026.
The route connects East Boston to downtown, offering an alternative to the MBTA for commuters and weekend travelers heading into the city.
The return of service marks the start of the seasonal ferry schedule, which typically ramps up in the spring and runs through the warmer months.
For East Boston residents, the ferry has become a reliable option, especially during periods of subway delays or disruptions.
The ride offers a direct trip across Boston Harbor with views of the skyline, and avoids some of the congestion that can build on roads and rail lines.
Weekday service is primarily used by commuters, while weekend service tends to draw a mix of locals and visitors heading to and from the waterfront.
The timing also aligns with the start of Boston’s busy spring season, as more people move around the city for events, travel, and outdoor activities.
For anyone looking for a faster or more scenic way into downtown, the ferry is back on the schedule.
