Sunset Cruise Experience!…read more 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.

We researched several charters in the area and theirs was the most reasonably priced-and I am not convinced anyone could have given us a better experience. Being from the south, we weren't sure what to expect, and we were blown away by the afternoon we spent with Tom and Helaine. The day before our charter, they actually cancelled it because the weather wasn't going to be great. When we woke up the next day, the forecast had changed so we called to ask if they would consider taking us out after all-they were so excited to hear from us and emphatically agreed! As we entered the Nantucket sound, Captain Tom spotted some seals and brought us in for a closer look. As we idled, the seals swam and played feet away from us!!! Amazing! When the bride-to-be got cold, Helaine zipped her up in one of Captain Tom's heavy duty jackets-this is just one example of the continued kindness and hospitality they showed us on the charter. When we reached the traps, Captain Tom and Helaine patiently taught us what to do, and we hooked and pulled the traps from the water all on our own! We left with eight (huge) lobsters and an experience we will never forget. Going out on a charter with Chatham Boat Tours was so much more than a touristy experience. I felt like Tom and Helaine invited us into their lives, and enjoyed sharing the experience with us as much as we enjoyed them. They treat their customers like family, they catered to us specifically, and Helaine even sent us off with two sticks of butter, cups to melt it in, lobster crackers, and some freshly baked potatoes! So sweet, above and beyond! I encourage anyone considering taking a lobster charter in the area to give these amazing people your business. (I can't stress enough how wonderful Tom and Helaine are!!!) Their friendliness and eagerness to make sure we had the best time possible was what made this so special for us. You will not leave disappointed! Thank you Tom and Helaine for everything!!

His boat was also a perfect size for our needs with plenty of room for onboard picnicking. I can tell you that the day exceeded our expectations and we look forward to one of his charters on our next trip to Boston!
