About Sail Baltimore

Since 1976, Sail Baltimore has produced a free, annual,

public program of visiting ships from around the world

and family-friendly maritime events for the Baltimore

area and beyond. Sail Baltimore has welcomed more

than 750 vessels and produced more than 50 maritime

events, with an economic impact of more than $600 mil-

lion for the area economy. Moreover, more than 15,000

children have participated in our youth education pro-

gram.

Our annual visiting ships

program includes international tall ships, military vessels,

educational and sea service ships. In addition to our pro-

gram of visiting ships, Sail Baltimore celebrates significant

historic events for our city, state and country through large

tall ship gatherings like Star-Spangled Sailabration and

Spectacular.

Sail Baltimore’s

programs also pro-

vide unique

opportunities for educating young people.

Through our youth education program, young

people climb aboard ships from around the

world with special, hands-on, private group

tours, providing them the opportunity for cultural exchange, as well as learning about

maritime technologies, environmental and conservation issues, history, geography, ca-

reer options and more.
