Waterfront
Just steps from the classroom or the dorm room in the heart of campus, Maritime’s waterfront provides endless opportunities to enrich the college experience academically and recreationally. On any given day you will find students practicing in a lifeboat, preparing for their captain’s license on the nation’s best equipped training ship, rowing or sailing during team practice, having some fun in a kayak or just messing about with boats on shore. Maritime College’s more than 130 years of experience has shown that time on the water is the best classroom for Developing Leaders Producing Champions.
Capitalizing on the College's prime waterfront location, outstanding facilities, and dedicated staff we encourage the community and the entire region to take advantage of the programs offered at one of the best waterfront facilities in the country!
