Got a group of 6 or fewer looking for something different in Ocean City? Say hello to the Harborside Orange Crush Lunch Cruise.
Experience the bay behind Assateague Island like a local: cold cocktail in hand, lunch on the boat, and eyes peeled for wild ponies and dolphins. The very best part? Every food order (21+) gets an Orange Crush from the bar that invented the drink! We've also got cold water onboard for everyone. (Additional Crushes available for purchase — because one is never enough.)
Great food, cold drinks, a friendly captain, and some of OC's best natural scenery. This is a CAN'T MISS experience.
Please Note: Trip cost and food/drink costs are separate. After booking, you'll be prompted to select your food, drink, and sides!
Departure Location, Parking & Boarding — This trip leaves from Ocean Pines Yacht Club (1 Mumford Landing Rd, Ocean Pines, MD 21811). Our boat is located in a slip near the outdoor bar. Parking at Ocean Pines Yacht Club is abundant. You will board from a floating dock, which tends to make it easier to get on the boat.
Departure Time — Please plan to arrive about 5–10 minutes before your trip. If you do not see the boat, please don't worry — we are probably off making memories with another group! Uptown and Downtown locations are staffed by OC Bay Hopper. We typically do not have staff at Ocean Pines Yacht Club or Mid-Town 53rd Street. Our captains are trained to leave ON TIME. If you are running late, you can attempt to contact us but if there are other parties on your trip it is unlikely that we will hold up a trip for you!!!
Bathrooms — Our Bay Hoppers do not have bathrooms onboard. There are available restrooms near all of our locations for use before the trip but we share these facilities with other businesses except Uptown, where the bathroom is inside our Kiosk.
What to Bring — Sunscreen and a camera, snacks and/or drinks for longer trips, and always take into account weather conditions on the water. (Dress in layers if you are not sure!)
Weather — Unless the weather poses a threat to passenger safety (e.g., lightning, high winds) or would make the trip extremely uncomfortable (e.g., heavy rain), the trip will proceed as scheduled. If the captain cancels due to weather, you will be notified and your money refunded. If the conditions are unpleasant but remain safe, we will run the trip. Sometimes if this situation arises we will offer to cancel/reschedule/refund but as long as the trip is safe then our Captains generally want to make this happen!
Trip Minimum — Please be aware that we cannot run this trip if fewer than 4 people book. We will notify you at least one hour (usually earlier the morning of) before departure if the minimum has not been reached and offer a full refund or try to rebook you onto another cruise if you prefer.
Additional Details — This trip is limited to 6 or fewer guests. Every food order (21+) gets an Orange Crush from the bar that invented the drink! Food must be ordered through our app during booking or at least 12 hours beforehand. Your free Orange Crush must be accompanied by a food order. Trip cost and food/drink costs are separate.
