Wondering About the Water Taxi?
Jun 1, 2018
Whether you’re a long-time Baltimore resident, or just moved to the area, you’ve probably heard of the Baltimore Water Taxi (BWT), but have you ever taken it?
A Better Way to Commute
The BWT has recently undergone a lot of great changes. For Anthem House residents and neighbors, the most notable change is the addition of the Anthem House stop, number nine. The stop offers both Green (East) and Yellow (West) routes that make it easy to get around the city—what better way to avoid traffic than by boat?Experience the Unexpected
Aside from being a convenient and enjoyable way to commute, the BWT is also offering curated experiences. One experience we think our residents and neighbors will particularly enjoy is the Whiskey Ride, which entails a trip to the Sagamore Pendry Hotel and the Sagamore Spirit Distillery. By taking the Green Route from Anthem House, you can quickly arrive at the Sagamore Pendry Hotel in Fells point. After enjoying cocktails in the Cannon Room, you’ll be whisked away on a private water taxi to Port Covington, where you’ll receive a tour of the Sagamore Spirit distillery, complete with tastings and a chocolate surprise!

For locals looking to maximize their water taxi experience, seasonal memberships are offered for $250 a year, which includes unlimited use of the BWT for you and up to 3 children under the age of 12. Another great option for locals is the One-Ways package, which is good for 10 one-way trips for $40. And of course, 1-day and 2-day passes are available for purchase as well.Try Before You Buy
