Back Bay Adventures is an Ocean City, Maryland outfitter that runs guided bay fishing, jet ski rentals, private charters, and pony cruises. Operating the Calico Jack headboats (40' and 48') and the Calypso catamaran-style pontoon, the company offers short, accessible outings—most 2 to 2.5-hour trips—designed for families, anglers, and small groups. Local captains provide expert, safety-focused guidance; no fishing license is required on headboat bay fishing trips, making them ideal for first-time anglers and children. Jet ski rentals use premium Seadoo models in calm, spacious riding areas with immediate ride time and brief instruction for riders of all skill levels. Private charters and boat parties allow guests to bring food and drinks, listen to their own music, and customize the route for wildlife viewing, including Assateague Island and its wild ponies. The Calypso accommodates six passengers comfortably for intimate celebrations and fishing outings. Safety equipment, life jackets, and comfortable seating are provided on all vessels, and captains give clear instructions before departure. Back Bay Adventures emphasizes punctual departures from convenient Ocean City launch points, transparent pricing, and clear reservation policies. Local guest reviews highlight professional captains, kid-friendly trips, and memorable wildlife sightings. Trips are suitable for anglers of all ages and for groups seeking scenic cruises or private boat parties. For visitors seeking short coastal experiences—flounder fishing, scenic cruises, or high-adrenaline jet skiing—Back Bay Adventures combines local knowledge with accessible, well-maintained boats and straightforward booking. Reservations are recommended during peak summer months to secure desired dates and vessel types today.
