Cape Cod Maritime Museum

With a unique setting on Hyannis Harbor, Cape Cod Maritime Museum serves as a focal point for experiencing the Cape and Islands’ maritime traditions and nautical history. You will be intrigued by rotating exhibits, a permanent collection of historic vessels, model ships and maritime art. Witness boat builders in action or join in and learn firsthand through our volunteer programs, educational classes and apprenticeships. Children will enjoy interactive exhibits, making a sailors’ valentine, building a boat, even learning navigation. Get a salty taste of history, by booking a sail on our museum-built 1886 Crosby Catboat Sarah. Visit the Cape Cod Maritime Museum, walk from the ferries or bus, or park your car for free with admission and spend the day enjoying the waterfront activities in our Climb Aboard Park and Preservation Boatshed.
