Coast Guard Establishes Safety Zone for Baltimore Airshow in Inner Harbor

Table of Contents
The Coast Guard is setting up a safety zone in Baltimore’s Inner Harbor for the SAIL250 maritime and airshow events. The zone covers all navigable waters within the harbor boundaries from June 24 through July 1, 2026.
Why it matters: The rule restricts boat access to the Inner Harbor only when aircraft are flying. Between demonstrations, the zone is established but not enforced, so normal boat traffic can resume. This ensures the safety of people and vessels during the airshow without closing the harbor for the entire week.
Who it affects
- Boat operators navigating Baltimore’s Inner Harbor between June 24 and July 1, 2026.
The U.S. Coast Guard published this final rule in the Federal Register on May 7, 2026; verify the exact coordinates and contact information in the original document before making plans.
