Do You Like Your Sunsets with a Bit of Spice?

Join us for an Eco-Adrenaline tour the likes of which Ocean City has not seen in some time! Climb aboard Osprey—the newest addition to our OC Bay Hopper fleet—and take a fun trip around Assateague Island and the Coastal Bays behind Ocean City, Maryland. For this trip, we'll skip the high-speed spins and, depending on the weather, make much more of an effort to take Osprey out into the Atlantic Ocean, looking for dolphins. This will be weather dependent!

Osprey is a Jet Boat, fitted out with the combination of jet drive and twin turbo diesel engines and a hull that supports fast running in shallow water! Throughout your 60-minute trip, you will be dazzled by the beautiful, natural scenery of our Coastal Bays and watch the sun melt into the marsh—your pictures will be fantastic!

And our staff will make sure that you see our boat's namesake, the majestic osprey (and possibly a large number of other birds, the famous Assateague ponies, and maybe some bay-swimming dolphins—we'll look, but nature can be unpredictable!)

All of our captains are trained to be guides with a deep knowledge of the area, so you will learn about our ecosystem with several stops throughout the tour.

Please note: Although our Sunset Trip on Osprey is the most "chill" way to enjoy this speedboat, it is not for everyone. This experience includes high-speed maneuvers that are not suitable for folks with back problems, heart problems, and anyone that could be pregnant. Our waiver will make this very explicit—it is up to you to decide whether you are a good candidate for this kind of thrill ride. (If you would not get on a roller coaster, then don't get on Osprey!)

Additionally, there is a minimum height requirement of 42" for all youth.

What to Expect

This trip is approximately 60 minutes long and will potentially take customers out on the Atlantic Ocean. (Not guaranteed—we will try to let you know the day of the trip!)

All of our Eco-Adrenaline tours on Osprey depart promptly at their scheduled time from our downtown location at 307 Dorchester Street. It will be hard to miss our red Jet Boat, branded "Osprey" at the marina, and even harder to miss our blue and orange OC Bay Hopper headquarters where we will sell tickets, etc.

Because of the nature of this experience, we will have lifejackets for all children under 13 years of age. These are in addition to the USCG-required Type 1 lifejackets onboard. They are not mandatory but some parents feel more comfortable with these on hand as an option.

Seating will be done on a first-booked, first-seated basis, so if you have a particular preference then we recommend you book early!

It is essential that you complete a waiver before boarding Osprey. The waiver clearly outlines the type of risk with this trip, so we urge that you read it carefully and thoughtfully. We take providing this kind of experience very seriously, and we ask that you do as well.

TRIP MINIMUM – Please be aware that we cannot offer this trip if fewer than 6 people in total book for the occasion. We will notify you at least one hour before departure if we have not reached the minimum and offer to refund or rebook you on to another trip.

Aligned with the goal of ensuring all Osprey customers have a great experience, we will only run trips that are deemed safe by our Captains. Generally, the weather on the coast 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!)
