What To Expect

Hop onboard for a crabbing adventure! During this experience, you will be able to get hands-on experience on how to catch crabs fresh from the bay. Crabbing is a very unique trade that is special to Ocean City, as this is how many people make a living in this area. You and your friends or family will help the captain pull crab pots while he tells you all about the different parts of the crabs! The best part is that you get to keep the crabs that pass the legal size (you'll learn about this too!). The crabs will be divided evenly among the groups onboard. This two-hour-long trip is truly one of a kind and always sells out, so be sure to book your spot today!

    Crabbing was awesome for my wife and I and our three kids! We all LOVED it! Captain Dave was amazing at teaching us about the crabs and the crabbing experience along with including all of the kids and making sure everyone is engaged and has the opportunity to participate. The staff is very friendly and took the time to get to know our names and teach us everything that we needed or wanted to know. I would recommend them for any of the activities that they offer!

  • A must do!

    This was not only information but fun! Capt. Dave truly loves what he does and it shows! I learned a lot about crabbing and I'm ready to go again! If you have children they would love this trip on the water. I give it 10 stars!😁😁😁
