News & Updates

At last night’s Quincy Chamber of Commerce Annual Showcase City of Quincy Mayor Tom Koch shared an exciting update regarding this summer’s ferry schedule – WEEKEND FERRY SERVICE! The Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority – MBTA has purchased a dedicated ferry for Quincy. It will run from 4/28 to 11/26, with stops at Seaport, Logan Airport, and Aquarium (Central Wharf). With the addition of a dedicated boat for Quincy, riders can expect increased trip frequency. And for the first time, weekend service will also be available! We expect this to come online 5/24 and run until 10/12 on a triangular route for Quincy and Winthrop with stops at Seaport, Logan Airport, and Aquarium (Central Wharf). We encourage the public to utilize this wonderful transportation option and help prove it is worth having in Marina Bay in the long term! We can envision a future with year-round service, including nights. We hope you can, too! ⛴

We had a great time last Saturday! Thanks to all of you for coming out and “Lighting It Up”! The lights will remain up for the month of December, making for a fun and festive atmosphere! Sunday December 17th will be our Marina Bay Holiday Market with @white_pine_market_ and businesses along the boardwalk have great deals and specials all month long! This past summer of rain was tough on Marina Bay businesses. If you are able to find your way down to the Marina to support them, they will be grateful! Special thanks to @mayortomkoch @cityofquincy @merielmarinabay and all of our sponsors for making this possible! Happy holidays! (Also, thanks for the many great pictures from members of the public!)
