Bay Spirit Tours, Hyannis

The Bay Spirit used to chase dolphins. The 63-foot catamaran was built in Florida in 2001, and was commandeered by the Florida Aquarium for dolphin watching tours. Today, the ship has migrated north to explore Massachusetts waters. Under the direction of Robert Kohl, a Coast Guard-licensed captain with 35 years of aquatic experience, the Bay Spirit hosts tours that wind along the Hyannis Harbor and Lewis Bay. And rather than pursuing dolphins, the boat now pursues memorable outings—in addition to daily boat tours and sunset cruises, the vessel can be chartered for events such as wedding celebrations, corporate parties, or family reunions, for groups of up to 49 people
