Temporary Inner Harbor safety zone
From 10 a.m. on June 24, 2026 through 6 p.m. on July 1, 2026, a safety zone covers all waters of Baltimore’s Inner Harbor (about 2,000 yards by 500 yards). You and your boat may not enter that zone during enforcement periods (generally 10 a.m.–6 p.m. each day and starting 30 minutes before an air demonstration) unless the Captain of the Port or a designated representative gives permission.
How to request permission to enter
If you need to be in the safety zone, you may request permission from the Captain of the Port or their representative by contacting VHF-FM channel 16 or calling (410) 576-2693. Anyone in the zone must follow lawful orders from the Captain of the Port or their designated representative.
Small entities: economic impact certified small
The Coast Guard certified under 5 U.S.C. 605(b) that this rule will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities because it affects a small area for a few hours at a time. The Coast Guard will issue a Broadcast Notice to Mariners (VHF FM channel 16) so affected businesses can adjust transit plans, and small entities can request permission to enter the area.
