Screamer Speedboat Thrill Ride & Dolphin Watch
Ocean City, NJ | leisure | 1 hour
A 44-foot custom speedboat with 38 seats leaves the dock at 3rd Street and Bay Avenue for about an hour along the Ocean City shoreline, part thrill ride and part wildlife run. The captain radios other boats for the latest dolphin sightings and ranges up and down the coast to find them; sea turtles, cownose skates and the occasional whale turn up too. Sharp turns and a closing spin deliver the thrill-ride half, and the middle and back rows get sprayed. Riders must be 3 or older, life vests are provided, and the ride is not for pregnant passengers or anyone with neck, back or heart concerns. Reserve ahead and arrive 20 minutes early.

Dolphins Most Days
The crew trades sighting reports with other boats, so summer trips usually turn up a pod offshore.
Thrill Ride First
Sharp turns and a finishing spin make it part roller coaster; front seats stay driest but bumpier.
Arrive 20 Minutes Early
Everyone signs the manifest before boarding; no lot on site, so use the free public lot nearby.
