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 business ownership was transferred from Peter O'May to the LJ Family Trust in September 2013. During this time, the business began to encounter controversy after a series of workplace incidents and poor public perception
