About the Spirit of Cape May - Over 60 Years Experience in Boating

"If you have the time, feel free to read below about the Spirit of Cape May. However, if time is at a premium, we encourage you to stop by and see the boat up close or view the photo galleries. I could write volumes about what we did to make her the vessel she is today, and back it up with invoices and receipts and cancelled checks. However, words and paper do not do this vessel justice. You need to board the boat to experience the quality."
Capt Jeff Stewart Sr. 2009

The Spirit of Cape May, our newest addition, represents the culmination of over 60 years of experience in boating combined with an increasing need for space for large groups. She is the largest and most luxurious vessel of her kind in Southern New Jersey Coast Guard Certified for 405 passengers.

The 110 ft. SPIRIT OF CAPE MAY was custom built in Crown Point, LA. All aluminum, with a 28 ft beam, she is the largest private and public charter vessel in South Jersey. She is capable of wonderful cruising and party trips. After the Stewarts purchased her in 2007 she was completely rebuilt over the course of 2 years to meet the needs of a cruising vessel for Cape May, NJ.

She has two decks, a large cabin with seating for over 100 people, outdoor seating on the main deck for an additional 120 people and upper deck with space for 175 people. The upper deck has an enclosed area with seating that s reversible, and permitted seating around the entire upper deck, including the large open air dance floor, a feature unlike any other boat in South Jersey. She has a large galley on the main deck featuring hot and cold food, as well as caterer services for food from one of our many caterers. A full bar is available on both the lower and upper deck. For a special event bring a DJ or a Band.

The Spirit’s electronics are extensive, including two high power fishfinders, two high power radars, two Northstar Chartplotters with WAAS GPS, Loran, and two VHFs. The Sound System features 70 speakers, large powered dance speakers, IPOD, XM Sirius Radio and the ability to play a DJ or Band.

We offer you five licensed captains with a minimum of 5 years experience and a maximum of 40 years cruising and fishing in the Cape May area. Our experienced and courteous deck hands are ready to tend to your needs and keep you safe.

We insure that you get the best trip, not worrying about how much fuel we are using. Whether its drinks at the open bar, or amounts of food for your catered event, or music selections. We don't skimp on anything, and there are no extra charges or hidden fees. No mandatory service tax to make the initial price appear more affordable. We lay out everything before you make your deposit.

Our specialty in cruising is dolphin watching and whale watching. We have been doing these trips since 1993 and we have perfected. Another popular trip is the Sunset cruise. This time of day lends itself well to birthdays, wedding rehearsal dinners, diner cruising, beef and beers, fundraising, fireworks cruising, etc. We also do lighthouse cruises which have been a real crowd pleaser. We can do WWII History cruises, bird watching, kayak tours, beach parties, etc. Tell us your vision and let us make it your reality.
