Screamer Speedboat Thrill Ride & Dolphin Watch
44-foot speedboat with spins and shoreline views
Ocean City, NJ | active | 1.5 hours
Captain Joel started flying visitors more than 20 years ago, and his yellow-and-green boats with red-and-yellow smiley peace parachutes have become part of the Ocean City skyline. Two 12-passenger Coast Guard certified boats leave 232 Bay Avenue, between 2nd and 3rd, for a 90-minute trip that puts each pair or trio about 500 feet up for 10 to 12 minutes, with a touch-and-go dip on the way down if you want it. Solo flyers need about 160 pounds; pairs and trios top out at 450 combined. Early-bird slots at 8, 8:30 and 9:30 and late-bird slots at 10, 11 and 11:30 run $80 against the $100 standard rate, and weekends are the calmer, cheaper days.
