Hyannis… there’s no place like home! Hyannis has been our Hy-Line home since 1962 when we first started as a sightseeing boat operating Hyannis Harbor Tours, out past The Kennedy Compound in Hyannisport. Being in Hyannis feels like you’re in the spotlight on the Cape, so much is happening here! 

Where is Hyannis?

Hyannis proves to be a great home-base while visiting Cape Cod, not only for our convenient ferry service to both islands, but also because it is centrally located to so many of the Cape’s best things to do. Located in the center of the “arm” of Cape Cod, Hyannis is the largest of the 7 villages of Barnstable. With beautiful beaches, outdoor recreation areas, an abundance of transportation options, plenty of national and local business, and great food, Hyannis is bustling!

Within 45 minutes, you can get just about anywhere on Cape Cod, whether that be the old-school historic feel of Falmouth and Sandwich, or the naturally breathtaking beauty of the upper cape and the National Seashore. You can also take our Nantucket Ferry or Martha’s Vineyard Ferry and get to either island in an hour! There is so much to see, and Hyannis is the perfect central location for your Cape Cod vacation.
