Are you a morning person? Even if you're not, this trip will convert you! Join us for a 90-minute sunrise cruise that'll rejuvenate you and set you up for a full day in OC.
We've partnered with One Love Smoothie Cafe to serve up fantastic coffee made with Ethiopian Yirgacheffe beans and hand-crafted, all-natural smoothies. Pick your fuel: Mango Madness, Pina Colada, Dreamsicle, or the One Love Signature Smoothie. (Coffee and smoothies are selected during booking and cost is separate.)
With your drink in hand, we'll cruise through Ocean City's commercial harbor and on to beautiful Assateague Island. Wild ponies, smooth water, and that golden morning light — by the time we get back to the pier, you'll be ready to take on the world!
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.
