The Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority (MBTA) has launched Harbor Loop Ferry, a weekday ferry service connecting the Boston Harbor with four destinations. The new F10 route, which began service on June 29, expands transportation options across the harbor, giving commuters, residents and visitors another way to travel throughout Boston.

Operated by Bay State Cruise Company, the F10 Harbor Loop provides weekday service between four destinations: 

• Lovejoy Wharf (North Station)  
• Central Wharf (Aquarium)  
• Seaport (Commonwealth Pier)  
• Logan Airport   

“We have seen how water transportation has been embraced by the public and under the Healey-Driscoll Administration, we are committed to improving water transportation options for all,” said Massachusetts Department of Transportation Interim Secretary and MBTA General Manager Phillip Eng. “Year over year, we have enhanced water service, and this year is no different. I’m proud that we can offer this new route to be served by the MBTA as we welcome both old and new riders this summer.”

Designed around peak commuter travel, the Harbor Loop operates weekdays approximately every 30 minutes during the morning and evening rush periods. Morning service runs counterclockwise from 6:10 a.m. to 11:30 a.m., and evening service runs clockwise from 3:55 p.m. to 7:50 p.m. There is no service between 11:30 a.m. and 3:55 p.m. or after 7:50 p.m. 

One-way fares are $2.40 for full-fare riders and $1.10 for reduced-fare riders, matching subway and Zone 1A pricing. Riders may pay using Tap to Ride, cash or credit card onboard, the mTicket app or an eligible Zone 1A through Zone 10 Commuter Rail pass. CharlieCards cannot be used on MBTA ferry routes.

The Harbor Loop complements—but does not replace—the existing Seaport Ferry operated by the Massachusetts Convention Center Authority. The new route gives riders additional travel options during peak commuting hours while improving connections to the subway at North Station and Aquarium Station, Logan Airport and other MBTA ferry routes serving Hingham/Hull, Lynn, Winthrop, Quincy, Charlestown and East Boston.

"We've made tremendous progress making the MBTA safer and more reliable and today we're giving people another affordable, convenient way to get where they need to go," said Massachusetts Gov. Maura Healey. "For the price of a subway ride, commuters, residents and visitors can travel between some of Boston's busiest destinations by water. We'll keep investing in practical improvements like this that give people more choices, save them time, reduce traffic and build a transportation system that works for everyone."

The Harbor Loop is the latest milestone in ongoing work to modernize and strengthen the MBTA. Over the past two years, the MBTA has eliminated systemwide slow zones, expanded ferry and commuter rail service and delivered major infrastructure projects that are making the system safer and more reliable for riders every day.
