Stranded At Sea!

Step back in time and embark on a riveting maritime experience as Ocean City Life Saving Station Museum professionals share true accounts of shipwrecks and rescues. Uncover the gripping details of three 1880 shipwrecks off Ocean City and Assateague’s coast. With each shipwreck lies a rescue story. Discover how these seamen were pulled from high seas and brought to dry land! Passengers will get an up-close look at several authentic maritime artifacts from the Museum’s collection.

Expectations

This trip departs from our downtown Ocean City headquarters at exactly the scheduled departure time. Arrive about 10 minutes early, and don't be late: our captains are under instructions NOT TO WAIT for late arrivals as this does not honor the time of those who came on time!

In early June and later August it can be a little cooler out on the water, but you will likely find this a sweet relief during the summer!

NOTE ON BOARDING THE BOAT FROM DOWNTOWN: You will board the boat from a fixed dock. Depending on the tides, this can be a large step down into the boat. We are happy to assist but customers who are limited in mobility may find better options at a trip leaving from one of our "floating dock" locations (118th Street and West OC).

Alcoholic beverages are available onboard for sale.

About the Weather

Aligned with the goal of ensuring all OC Bay Hopper customers have a great experience, we will only run trips that are deemed safe by our Captains. Generally, the weather on the coastal bays of the Ocean City area is very pleasant but sometimes storms and thunderstorms do occur.

In the event that your trip is cancelled, you will receive a full refund. Sometimes, the weather conditions, particularly high winds causing choppy seas, will allow us to run a safe trip that is a bit unpleasant.

Our captains will always strive to let people know when conditions will be less than ideal and if conditions warrant a possible refund you may choose to not take the trip. (But sometimes those rough passages make for the best experiences!)
