The pickup location is located at the West Ocean City Boat Ramp, where there is ample parking. (there is an opportunity to jump on this trip 10 minutes early at our downtown location (307 Dorchester Street). Try to arrive at least 10 minutes before the scheduled trip departs to park your vehicle and load your gear on the boat. Your birding guide will meet you at the public restrooms at least 10 minutes prior to departure to check you in. For our specific meeting location, use GPS coordinates: 38.327649, -75.106702.

There are a number of great nearby restaurants and bars to visit before and after your tour, including The Shark on the Harbor, Sunset Grille, and the world-famous Harborside Bar & Grill (home of the original fresh-squeezed Orange Crush!).

There is no head/toilet on the OC Bay Hopper, so please use the public restroom in the harbor prior to departure. The restroom is located next to the boat ramp. Even if you don’t have to go when you arrive — please use the restroom!

Trips may be canceled in the event of strong, gusting winds or dangerous weather. If a trip is canceled, you will be notified via email 24 hours prior to the trip departure. Full refunds will be provided within 15 days.

Reserving an Experience

Due to the uncertainty surrounding our 2020 Summer season (the impacts of COVID-19), we've had to adjust the way we schedule our trips. We're very excited to be back on the water, offering trips and experiences along the coastal bays, and giving families, couples, vacationers, and locals a unique and safe experience on the OC Bay Hopper.

We are not sure whether it will be viable to operate every trip we have put on our schedule. As a business, we need to remain flexible to book groups for private charters, yet still offer the experiences you see on our menu to people who cannot afford booking an entire boat.

For these reasons, we mark most of our trips scheduled more than 72 hours from now, as tentative. This means that we may, if necessary, cancel that trip and refund anyone who made a reservation.

For anyone who is not comfortable with the potential that their trip may be cancelled, we have two options:

Pay an additional fee ($30 for this trip) when booking, and we will "Lock In" that trip so that it won't be cancelled.
Wait until we pass the “Lock In” date (, on for this trip) to book your seats at a regular rate. (We do this to allow private charters, which generally book within 72 hours, to book and cancel our regular schedule)
