About
About Rowes Wharf
At 8.4 nautical miles this is the longest crossing on any of the harbour landings covered here, and at 36 minutes it is also the slowest — but for commuters from the South Shore it still beats the Southeast Expressway at eight in the morning.
The MBTA runs 22 departures a week towards Hingham and 21 back, from 06:00 in the morning to 20:30 at night. Volumes are thin because the boat is aimed squarely at the peaks rather than at all-day travel.
Rowes Wharf is the downtown landing, under the arch of the waterfront building between the Financial District and the harbour walk, a short walk from Aquarium station. The Hingham direction runs on two day patterns and the inbound leg on three, so the return timetable carries a variation the outbound one does not.
