Sunset Cruise Experience! We recently went on a sunset cruise with Bay Spirit Tours, and it was absolutely fantastic! Captain Jake and the crew were a pleasure to listen to--knowledgeable, engaging, and genuinely fun. The tour around Hyannis Harbor was beautiful, offering stunning views as the sun set over the water. The boat itself was spotless and very comfortable, and the whole crew was incredibly friendly and welcoming. It felt like the perfect way to spend a summer evening--relaxing, scenic, and well-hosted. I'd definitely recommend Bay Spirit Tours to anyone visiting the area. A top-notch experience from start to finish! They have been around for many years at the harbor. Have had great experiences on the lighthouse tours as well. read more

Highly recommend. Beautiful views and very relaxing cruise. Book ahead, and well worth it.

Booked a 4pm Lighthouse tour with Bay Spirit Tours. Stephanie, the associate who manages incoming calls, is super friendly and helpful. She helped assist when we accidentally booked the wrong date. The tour itself was fun, informational, and unique! Loved seeing the Cape from the water and hearing the tour guides experience. Would recommend! read more

Absolutely phenomenal! We booked a private catamaran tour with Captain Bob through Bay Spirit Tours, and it was pure magic from start to finish. Hyannis Harbor was sparkling, the breeze was perfect, and our guide, Carol, was a living encyclopedia wrapped in charm--her passion for the local history made every moment fascinating. The boat was pristine, the ride was smooth, and the service was five-star all the way. If you want an unforgettable experience on the water, this is it. We'd book again tomorrow without hesitation! read more

This was a fun trip with a great captain and crew. Our narrator, Sarah, was informative and knowledgeable .. Bring a jacket because it can get breezy, also, binoculars if you have them. Parking is a bit hectic so plan to arrive early. Well worth your time and money. read more

Seabreeze Tour - The Sea Breeze Cruise was just wonderful. It was a beautiful day. As we entered, the folks working on the cruise were extremely helpful with going up the few steps to get on. Seating was comfortable- on cushions along the side where I sat in front,, but there were other areas of the boat in which to sit, too. Some folks (that I met for the first time) had brought drinks and snacks to celebrate a fiftieth birthday. They were generous and friendly to offer to share, but my friend and I simply enjoyed the fresh sea breeze and beautiful ocean as the catamaran's huge sails were expertly controlled to give us a beautiful ride with spectacular ocean view. The staff were always friendly, helpful, and professional, and the peace of the ocean view was wonderful. This trip was definitely a summer highlight. The location is right near the heart of Hyannis - so there's plenty to do by way of shopping and lunch before and/or after the trip. A few tips followed by a suggestion: *As the website suggests, leave plenty of extra time to find parking and walk. It could take extra time to establish you are waiting in the right spot. . I would give it a half earlier arrival, unless you walk very fast and are sure you know the correct location of the area from which the boat leaves. *You'll know you're waiting in the right area if you're in a parking lot with two street signs behind a stop sign in the corner of the lot next to the road. (See photo.) The two signs indicate Lewis Bay Road and Willow Street. *There was a handicapped parking spot, if needed. There was a bit of walking needed on boat, from what I could see. There were a few steps up into the boat and a bit of walking on the boat to get to your sear. The kind staff were helpful with folks getting on, when needed. *If, like me, you have taken one of the company's other cruises, note that cruises leave from different parts of the harbor. Confirm ahead of time. Consider bringing sunblock lotion, sweater, jacket . The day we went (Sat, Aug 14th) , it was around 72 on shore, but it did at times get a bit deliciously cooler by several degrees at times on the boat. Bring snacks or drinks, if you wish. Suggestion: As friend and I waited, along with orhers also taking the trip (folks I was meeting for the first time), we were all confused about whether we were waiting in the correct spot. Several people from the other group were starting to head toward another part of the harbor, when fortunately, we met two folks who had in the past seen the boat leave from the area where we waited. That's how we knew we were in the correct place. Staff wouldn't have know of problems that had preceded the trip. as nobody mentioned this. Instead, we happily boarded and enjpyed the excellent trip. The problem is that the online instructions give a street address: 147 Lewis Bay Road,but the parking lot (which is essentially where you need to wait) doesn't have the number 147 anywhere, so you don't know if you're in the right place...especially given that on the Cape, gps systems can be off in areas where teception isn't great. Suggestion to eliminate confusion. Adding signage would be helpful....If it is possible, I suggest that the company put up a sign stating, "Bay Spirit Cruises Sea Breeze Trip Waiting Area." If that is not allowable, perhaps the company can erect a large sign that says, 147 Lewis Bay Road" for the parking lot or dock or prevail upon the town to do so. This would be helpful for folks wishing to establish they are in the right place. I also suggest that inckuding the following in online idirections...in addition to info already available: ,"If you plug 147 Lewis Bay Road, Hyannis, into your gps, there is a pretty good chance that your GPS will bring you to the right place. However, you may want to confirm you are in the right place because this address is actually a parking lot right in front of the water...What you will see to help you are twi street signs behind a Stop sign in the corner of the parking lot showing that you are at the crossroads of two streets: Lewis Bay Road and Willow Street. See photo. When you arrive there, you will see a little parking lot with a handicapped parking apace and s few other "official " spaces. The parking lot faces the harbor, and when the boat arrives, you will need to walk down a wooden ramp. Keep in mind...in case you have taken a different Bay State Cruise this summer, the boat picks up in a different location, across the harbor from some of its other cruises. If you have a question or want further info about pickup location, check the website for your cruise or call when lines are staffed, between ---and ---. I would include the photo of street signs in the directions. This photo that also includes "stop" sign will help people to establish that they sre waiting in the right place. In any case, I loved the wonderful trio and will take again! Highly recommend! Five stars!!!! read more

Well, we didn't have a picturesque sunset like we hoped, but that didn't stop the tour from being fun! The staff was very friendly and informative about the areas we visited on the tour. Drinks are available on-board (beer, wine, cocktails) - definitely take advantage if that is your thing. The boat is very large and runs very smoothly, so hopefully those prone to sea sickness feel a little more at ease on this cruise. read more

Had a sunset cruise booked for my anniversary. Arrived on time & ran around trying to find the boat. After 30 minutes of walking around the marina, I found out from another bay spirit cruise boat that my cruise was cancelled. Would have been nice to receive some sort of email/communication in advanced so I could have planned something else. Still no email. read more

My wife and I had a fantastic and relaxing sunset cruise on Bay Breeze.

I chose Bay Spirit Tours to assist me in scattering my fathers ashes at sea (burial at sea). We were warmly greeted and welcomed on board the beautiful, spacious catamaran called the "Bay Spirit". After the Captain discussed safety measures and what to expect we departed promptly and on time. My father was a fisherman in his younger days, and the boat he fished on left out of the same docks as the Bay Spirit which offered an extra sentimental value to my experience. We were extremely lucky to have perfect weather for the day. It was 75 degrees and sunny, with absolutely no wind which made for a very quiet, calm ocean. It took us about 20 minutes to get out 3 nautical miles which was quicker than expected. One at our destination they instructed us on how to scatter the ashes at the bow of the boat. It was like my father was with us, as even though we were 3 miles out, the ocean was flat, and calm. No wind whatsoever. Once the ashes were scattered we stayed there for about 10-15 minutes to reflect while playing a favorite song of my fathers on a speaker that we brought along. Afterwards I waved to the Captain who was awaiting our signal, he gave a nod and turned the boat around to head back to the dock. At this time we all took the chance head inside to the fully stocked bar and get a drink for a toast. All of our drinks were made perfectly, and I found the sizing and prices to be very reasonable. The Captain and staff of the Bay Spirit provided me with a lovely laminated certificate to certify my fathers burial at sea with exact latitude and longitude of his final resting place. If you are looking to scatter your loved ones ashes at sea, I highly recommend Bay Spirit Tours. I found their rates extremely affordable, and couldn't have been happier with the outcome. read more

Great Great Great tour! The captain was really cool, took out the boat with only 4 of us! Very interesting history narrated as you cruise past the Kennedy compound and fun other facts! Highly recommended! read more

We went in a lovely sunset cruise on the Bay Breeze catamaran. The weather was wonderful the captains and crew were awesome however the only reasons I didn't give it 5 stars was because I thought there should have been less people on board to allow for social distancing and to have more comfortable seating. And it did get really windy so as not to get splashed from the bigger waves we circled in the bay for two hours. But otherwise if circumstances were different I would have been perfect. read more

Went out for the harbor lighthouse tour with my wife, 5 and 15 yr old boys. it was a nice time. Nothing scary or thrilling but interesting enough to be enjoyable. 4 stars because we did not go below so couldn't rate the food selection or service. Also would have been nice to go a little farther out than just the harbor. read more

Yesterday my friend's family brought their father to his final rest on The Bay Spirit Tours Catamaran. This celebration of life really hinged on the compassion and professionalism of our crew Captain Dennis and First Mate Steve. We thank you for our smooth ride, keeping the drinks flowing and for your expertise of the right way to scatter the ashes, and follow the flowers. I would highly recommend your cruise for all occasions, both happy and the sad. Thank you very much! read more

We were looking for a way to get out on the water on July 4, which was a gorgeous day on the Cape. We Googled and found Bay Spirit Tours and booked a two-hour afternoon sail in Hyannis on the catamaran. It was absolutely delightful and an excellent value for the price. The crew was incredibly friendly. My husband is a sailor, and he and one of the crew members really hit it off, telling stories and comparing notes. I just say on one of the comfy bean bag chairs and enjoyed the views! Highly recommend!! read more

We had booked a one-hour sunset tour, which had to be swapped to the 2 hour sailboat sunset tour due to some staffing issues. The company was fanastic about communicating with us and offering us options. Let me tell you how great the 2 hour sunset sailing tour was .... fantastic! Great crew, easy going and friendly, but always kept us safe and aware. We sailed around the area near Hyannis, took in great sights and a lovely sunset. While folks can bring drinks and snacks, no one was making this a "booze cruise" so it all was very family friendly and a nice end to a vacation day. read more

Great way to get out on the water on a hot day, hear some history, have a drink and see some of the Cape's impressive properties; all for less than I paid for a sangria in Chatham! Friendly , gracious crew made it enjoyable. Will do it again. read more

Excellent!!! Highly recommend! We had a great experience on Bay Spirit Tours for the sunset cruise! We booked online. We arrived early and received our boarding pass and then boarded the ship.

My husband and I, along with another couple (Louis C. and Kelly M.) had an awesome time this past saturday night at the Bay Spirit Sunset tour. We were able to snag an eversave deal for 2 sunset cruise tickets for the price of one. We reserved to go a couple weekends ago but because of the weather we decided to reschedule. The people at Bay Spirit were very understanding and had no problem rescheduling us for another time. We were finally able to go this Saturday on a perfect evening. We drove up to Hyannis and put the address in the GPS. When we got to the address we were a little confused on where to go but then we saw the boat right next to the parking area. You just need to go straight to the boat and someone will be there waiting with the reservations list. The parking isn't free, but we were able to get a metered spot. You only need about 1 hour and a half at the most but we put in 2 hours to be safe. The tour is about 45 min long. We were greeted and told about the full bar and snacks available inside the boat. We got some drinks and took a seat on the upper deck. Anywhere on the boat is really a good spot and you can move around easily, unless the water gets a little choppy. I was worried about getting a little sea sick but I was lucky this time. The tour guides were friendly and gave quick little stories about boats and the houses we sailed by. They even offered free sweatshirts and blankets if you were chilly. The sunset was gorgeous... great for a summer date night! I would recommend Bay Spirit Tours if your looking for something to do in the Hyannis/Cape Cod area. Since we had time on the meter after the cruise, we got ice cream and Ben and Jerry a small stroll up towards the Ferry to Nantucket and Martha's Vineyard. Sweet Night :) read more

absolutely loved this tour. we walked around main st in Hyannis and had lunch and shopped a little. We then drove down to the pier around 630pm for the 7:00pm tour. we parked in a lot that offered $5 parking if you're taking a boat tour. we were greeted by two young men, both very up beat, happy and friendly! they made you feel comfortable and happy to be aboard! there was seating options up front, in the rear and also inside. Inside had a full bar with restrooms. boat was large enough to have enough room to take your own pictures and hang out with friends but small enough to feel more intimate. they took us through the harbor and showed us the Kennedy compound, Maria Shriver's house, GAP CEO's house and the house purchased by Taylor Swift. they took us around to the other side of the rocks and mentioned they don't normally do this. it was great because the sunset was spectacular and absolutely breath taking. I got really beautiful shots on my camera. they also play music, good music which adds to the setting. guides were funny and entertaining. the whole trip lasted a little over an hour. we paid $18 for the three of us and made reservations in advance. some people showed up without and were put on a waiting list to see if there was room left. I'd recommend reservations as it seemed to fill up fast! totally worth it and was a fantastic way to end my vacation on the Cape!! read more
