Lynn Ferry Weekday Service Extended Through End of 2026

LYNN, MA — Weekday service on the Lynn Ferry has been extended through Dec. 31 after the North Shore legislative delegation said it secured $15 million in fair share funding for statewide water transportation infrastructure.

The legislators called the investment part of a broader effort to support economic development, workforce mobility and more transportation options for North Shore residents.

The city, working with the state legislative delegation, has pushed for year-round ferry service that closely mirrors the existing Hingham/Hull ferry service. Legislators said the seasonal service extension as another step toward that goal.

"The Lynn Ferry is an essential part of our transportation network, which continues to be reflected in the strong ridership and enthusiasm from our community," State Sen. Brendan Crighton (D-Lynn) said.

Lynn Mayor Jared Nicholson said the city views the ferry as an important link for residents and visitors.

"We're thrilled that Lynn Ferry service will continue through the end of the year," he said. "The ferry has become an important transportation option for residents and visitors, providing a reliable connection to jobs and opportunities throughout the region."

"The Lynn Ferry has won the hearts, minds, and feet of our communities," State Rep. Jenny Armini (D-Marblehead) said.

The MBTA said inclement weather and unsafe sea conditions can affect service and riders will be updated if disruptions occur.

The agency also said there is no service on any ferry routes on Thanksgiving Day, Christmas Day and New Year's Day, and advised riders to check holiday schedules as those dates approach.
