History

Captain Fell's Historic Ferries had a long history of operating ferries on the Derwent River. The owner of the Spirit of Hobart was Peter O'May, a descendant of the original O'May Family that have been operating ferries on the Derwent River since 1863.
The MV Emmalisa plied the waters of the Derwent River for 30 Years for Historic Cruises/Ferries.
The business changed hands from Peter O'May to the LJ Family Trust in September 2013.
