We’re teaming up with the OC Bay Hopper to run Sunset Seabird Safaris from May through September. The cost for the two-hour cruise is $60/person. Guests can register individually or in groups. We need a minimum of four participants to run a tour. Our maximum number of participants is 16. Tours are mostly offered on weekday evenings.

We’ll investigate the bayside docks in Ocean City from M.R. Duck’s south to the inlet (there are often good birds hiding out there!), then we’ll cruise by the Assateague jetty. From there, we’ll explore the bayside of Assateague Island south towards Castaways campground, then back to the harbor. The cruise will feature a U.S. Coast Guard-licensed captain and a DBW Guide, so you will be in good hands.

The OC Bay Hopper has a liquor license and cold adult beverages are available for purchase. Cold water is also available.
