OC Rocket Speedboat

Here’s something to add to your bucket list of things to do in Ocean City MD. If you never been on the OC Rocket Speedboat, the only thing I can say is hold on. At this time the instructor will give you instruction of what not to do and what to do to be safe. This OC Rocket Speedboat will start off slow, cruising out to the ocean. This OC Rocket Speedboat will take you up and down the ocean for a 1 hour ride along Ocean City Beach to see some Dolphins, if they’re around. Within a few seconds you’ll experience a thrill ride of speed, bouncing up and down on the waves, twist and turns, pulling you side to side, as the wind blowing in your face, and yes, you will get splashed from the ocean if you’re sitting on the inside seat along the wall of the boat. So I advise you to wear something that you do not mine getting wet. If you have on a hat or any kind of valuables, hold on to them or you will lose them during this fast and furious speed boat ride. #oceancitybeach

We signed up thinking "speedboat" would be a pretty fast ride. It was a normal boat ride speed wise for the entire cruise up and down the beaches until the last 5 mins. The "thrill" was a few spins that results in the people sitting by the edge to get a few splashes then we were headed back to the doc in our normal speed. The crew and captain don't speak except for a few short instructions in the beginning. My kids enjoyed being on the boat but we probably won't do this again.

The boat uses 50 gallons of diesel per hour which seems like a bit much for our planet at this point in time. It was a really enjoyable ride, $25 per, although I can't get that factoid out of my head.
