Sunset Cruise on OC Bay Hopper

If you’re looking for a great way to unwind then this cruise is it! You’ll board our Bay Hopper at either our West OC or our North OC location. We’ll then head out into the Assawoman Bay. The Bay in the evening slows down and gets calm and quiet. All you have to do is sit back, grab your favorite beverage, take a deep breath of the salty ocean air, and relax.

The Bay Hopper will glide you across the water giving you a front row seat to some of the Bay’s most amazing wildlife. At this point, you might reach for one of those delicious snacks you packed for the trip and notice the lights in OC start to pop on. Then, you simply watch the sun melt into the water. At this point you’ll feel so relaxed that you might not be able to keep your eyes open.

Once the sun sets, your captain will pilot the Bay Hopper back to our pier and you can start your evening on the town refreshed. Or, you have a couple of more drinks, look at the tv for a while and go to sleep. Either way, you’ll feel good.

Expectations

Departure Location - This trip leaves from MULTIPLE LOCATIONS so please be sure to note which departure location you select. This trip departs from our location at 118^th street (Food Lion Shopping Center) in OC, our West OC location (12817 Harbor Road, Ocean City, 21842) and our Downtown OC location (307 Dorchester Street, Ocean City, 21842). PLEASE CAREFULLY SELECT YOUR DEPARTURE LOCATION.

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).

Bathrooms – Our Bay Hoppers do not have bathrooms onboard. Our kiosk at our 118^th street location in OC does have a bathroom you can use before departure.

What To Bring – Depending on the weather, you should dress appropriately. Things to consider bringing include sunscreen, some snacks, drinks, a sweatshirt, and camera.

Weather – Unless the weather poses a threat to the safety of our passengers (e.g., lightening, high winds) or the weather will make the trip extremely uncomfortable (e.g., heavy rain) the trip will proceed as scheduled. If the Captain decides to cancel the trip due to the weather, then you will be notified, and your money refunded.

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!)
