Thanks for your interest!

Located on Erie’s historic East Canal Basin at 40 Holland Street, the Bayfront Maritime Center is a premier waterfront destination where education, innovation, and adventure meet. Our dynamic campus features a state-of-the-art boatbuilding facility, modern classrooms, collaborative learning spaces, and direct access to the water through our adjacent docks.

Every day, the waterfront comes alive with activity as sailors, students, scouts, paddlers, and Erie Community Boating members launch vessels, develop new skills, and experience the transformative power of hands-on learning. From maritime education and STEM exploration to recreational boating and workforce development, the Bayfront Maritime Center creates opportunities that inspire confidence, leadership, and lifelong learning.

As a cornerstone of Erie’s waterfront community, we are dedicated to connecting people to the water, expanding access to maritime experiences, and preparing the next generation of innovators, builders, and leaders.

We invite you to become part of our mission. Whether through volunteering, sponsorship, donations, or community partnerships, your support helps us create life-changing opportunities both on and off the water.
