Memorial Day Weekend Activities on the Water
The unofficial start of summer is finally here, and there is no better place to celebrate than at the docks in Hyannis. As the weather warms up, the salt air and coastal views call for a maritime escape with family and friends. At Hy-Line, we serve as your premier gateway to the best experiences on Nantucket Sound and the Cape Cod Canal. Whether you are looking for a fast-paced adventure or a slow-paced afternoon, the water is exactly where you want to be this holiday weekend.
Explore the Islands: Ferry Trips
Memorial Day is the perfect time to kick off your island hopping traditions. We offer high-speed ferry service that makes a holiday day trip feel like a true vacation.
- Nantucket & Martha’s Vineyard: Our ferries get you to the islands quickly so you can spend your day exploring cobblestone streets or scenic beaches.
- Inter-Island Travel: If you can’t decide on just one, our “Around the Sound” option is perfect for those who want to see both islands in a single weekend.
Scenic Sightseeing Cruises in Hyannis
If you want to experience the beauty of the harbor without a full day’s commitment, our sightseeing cruises are a fantastic choice for the kids and grandkids. Our Hyannis Harbor Cruise offers a relaxed, one-hour narrated tour of our local waters, which is the perfect amount of time to soak in the scenery.
The Cape Cod Canal Experience
For a different change of pace, head over to the Onset Pier for our Cape Cod Canal cruises. These tours offer a front-row seat to one of the most impressive engineering feats in the region.
- Historic Navigation: Our 2-hour and 3-hour tours traverse the widest sea-level canal in the world. It is a fascinating way to spend a holiday afternoon.
- Narrated History: As you cruise under the iconic bridges, our guides provide insight into the history and landmarks that make the canal so unique.
Reel in the Holiday: Deep-Sea Fishing
If your idea of a perfect Memorial Day involves a bit more action, hop aboard the Sea Queen for a deep sea fishing excursion on Nantucket Sound.
- Bottom Fishing: We head out to the best local spots to find what is biting. It is an active, social way to enjoy the holiday weekend.
- All-Inclusive Gear: Don’t worry about bringing your own equipment. We provide the bait, and rod rentals are available right on the boat.
Whether you are seeking the thrill of a high-speed crossing or the relaxation of a harbor tour, being on the Cape means being on the water. Memorial Day is one of our busiest weekends of the year, so we highly recommend booking your tickets in advance to ensure your holiday plans are smooth sailing.
