CAPE COD MARTIME MUSEUM
The Cape Cod Maritime Museum, located on the historic Hyannis waterfront just
steps from Hy-Line Cruises, is a lively hub for maritime history, education, and
hands-on experiences.
Alongside rotating exhibits, we host History on Tap—a bi-weekly lecture series
featuring maritime experts, often in partnership with local breweries, for a fun,
laid-back learning experience. In the summer, visitors can enjoy our vibrant row-
ing program or take a sail aboard Sarah, our 1886 Crosby catboat replica. Sarah
was built right here in our fully operational boat shop, the heart of the museum,
where volunteers restore classic wooden vessels and lead youth boatbuilding
classes.
This summer marks the 6th season of our flag-ship Young Mariner Program, an
all-day, 5-day adventure for kids ages 9–12. Blending boating, marine science,
and Cape Cod ecology, the program takes place on the water and in the museum
with STEM experiments, beach trips, fishing, and hands-on activities. It's a unique
chance for kids to build water confidence, explore our local environment, and
learn to be stewards of the sea.
