Due to the uncertainty that we are all facing in the midst of these challenging times, Pride of Baltimore, Inc.’s board of directors decided to close Pride of Baltimore II to the general public for the 2020 season.

The decision to tie up Pride II for the season was based on a number of very important factors, including the safety and well-being of our crew, the public, and our office staff, as well as an attempt to shore up our finances for our long-term sustainability.
