Ultimate Watersports, a partner company of the Waterfront Partnership’s annual Baltimore Floatilla, has opened a new location in the Inner Harbor.

Located at the Living Classrooms Foundation Marina, it will host a variety of recreational activities such as kayak and stand-up paddle classes, pre-booked tours of the harbor featuring sights like Mr. Trash Wheel, Baltimore by Baltimore Music and Makers Festival tour, and the new National Aquarium Floating Wetlands. It is open now through October. 

“We’re excited to continue building momentum around recreational water sports and introduce paddlers to a new way of experiencing what we’ve always known, [which] is so fantastic about the Harbor,” said Hal Ashman, president of Ultimate Watersports, in a statement.

Ultimate Watersports will also provide safety for the Waterfront Partnership’s Harbor Splash, the Inner Harbor’s first public swimming event, on June 23. 

The company has partnered with the Waterfront Partnership’s Baltimore Floatilla since 2016, managing safety and event logistics.
