We rented a pontoon boat on 8/20/20 it was our first time on one it’s was fantastic weather was great everyone enjoyed themselves. We decided to come back the next day to rent the jet skis. The staff was friendly tour guys Markus and Luke were excellent for getting my daughter back to shore when she decided jet skiing in the back of me was not her thing and wanted to go back. They called someone to come and get her my ski and bought her back safely so I could continue my ride. Love riding the jet ski. We will probably go back next time we are in Ocean City.

I rented a pontoon boat from this operation three times this summer (2020). They were terrific on social distancing and wearing masks every time. ALL the crew (behind the desk and on the dock) were super-nice and friendly. The boats were very clean and I observed that staff did a good job of cleaning between customers too. The pontoon boats were all pretty new - a staff member told me they only keep them for about two years then they purchase new ones. We crabbed and fished. You can purchase bait, hooks and crab lines and you can also rent poles for the day. Ice can also be purchased here. I definitely recommend this operation.

Our two guides were terrific. They explained how to use the jet skis, escorted us out to a 2-mile area for us to ride in and zipped around checking on the riders throughout the hour. There was plenty of space for the 10 jet skis in our groups to roam and play.
One family member was hoping to switch off with another during the ride but because we went so far out, you can’t just go back to the dock and switch. (That jet ski already had 2 riders on it.)
Overall it was a great time.

We made a reservation one week earlier but when we arrived we were told we were scheduled a day earlier. Next, we were told that we probably made a reservation with another company and they proceeded to call other businesses to find out where “we should be”. Finally, they admitted they screwed up and did nothing to correct the situation except offer us a boat from 6-8pm rather than the 12:30-4:30 we had reserved. We had a group of young kids who were super excited for their planned day and this passive-aggressive owner couldn’t care less. In my opinion save your money and your time and stay away from this place...there’s many other options to choose from .....

Terrible customer service. Owner is the rudest person I have ever seen. And I am literally not exaggerating. He takes zero accountability for his employees mistakes. We were on the cancellation list. Received a call the night before for a 2 to 6 boat rental. So we get ready drive all the way there. At 115 we find find that they never wrote our name down in the time slot they offered. When we asked what they could do for us so we could do anything that day. They say too bad and no. Try to blame it on us. Not sure on what planet its the customers fault for your employee not writing down a time slot for the cancellation slot they called to offer. In fact we went above our duty calling to say we were almost there about 5 minutes out about 120ish when we were told too bad. Go to the place next door. Dont give this really ignorant owner your money.

You are so rude and arrogant to guests who are not fluent in English because safety comes first. You have serious problems with your manners and tone, which makes your customers feel insulted and angry. Fools who believe that only English-speaking people deserve respect in this world.. I hope you know that the Latinos and Asians you discriminate against are much smarter people who speak multiple languages when you only speak English. For reference, in Korea, all languages for safety explanations are prepared and interpretation is available. When a foreign tourist who is not good at speaking Korean comes to us, we do not insult them and offend them just like you because reason for they are not good at the language!
Your staff and managers have the worst personalities in my life ever!!!

My husband and I had a great time jet skiing for the first time together on the ocean waters!! The sign in time was no nonsense, yet very friendly. Safety procedures were on point for a leisure ride. You had to past a simple test to help implement safety rules and state laws on the water. The Instructor and his assistant did a great job of explaining things, and keeping the group of jet skiers safe. Only problem for me was that I had a difficult time locating the boundaries to stay within while on the ocean. They were very good at helping me with that without being harsh. Just helpful. We had a great time!!

We had an EXCELLENT experience at Bayside! The office staff were professional and efficient. Cam and Jason explained all of the safety regulations and required paperwork clearly and were very kind and welcoming, a pleasure! We rented a pontoon for a few hours. It was pristine and in perfect working order. We received a thorough briefing on how to operate the boat, all the safety regulations and some tips on areas to visit in the bay. Parking was easy and the staff were quick to help with our belongings. This is a very well run business and we really appreciated their focus on safety, customer service and our enjoyment. We will definitely return next summer and we hope to try their jet skies. Thank you so much, Bayside for a memorable afternoon!

Thanks so much for an awesome time and for being wonderful business owners Jackie and Chad! You care and it shows!
This was our second year renting from Bayside and it was wonderful. The pontoon boat was beautiful, comfortable and so fun. There is a Bluetooth speaker for music and charging ports as well. You can pack your own lunches and drinks or find a place to hop off the boat for the same.
We did the 8 hour and it wasn’t enough. We stopped at Harpoon Hanna’s for drinks and docked with the friendliest patrons who all just hopped in to help us. We found our own sandbar down in the St Charles River where we had a boat picnic and did some dream house hunting there as well. Just be careful down near West OC as it gets shallow.
Oh, don’t forget seeing Eagles, Osprey, Pelican, some kind of Black Tip Reef Shark and stepping in Horseshoe Crabs by accident.
Don’t forget to pick up ice, rent a cooler, rent fishing rods or crab rakes too!

We had a great time! Honestly, the pontoon boat was even better than we anticipated. We had a great time swimming and crabbing. We also had an excellent experience with the staff during all of our experiences. Members of our group went back the next day to jet ski and said that was wonderful too. Highly recommend!

Do the pontoon boats have outlets?
Written June 12, 2018
Are you referring to a cigarette outlet for charging purposes? Most of the boat do, But sometimes with the harsh salt air conditions they may not work. I could make sure i got you on a boat that has one working if you let me know?

Do you need a boating professional (LIc.) to steer the boat? or can anybody take a boat out?
Written April 17, 2018
Thank you for your interest in renting some of our watercraft. The driver of our boats needs to be 18 or older with valid identification. We have you read over a pamphlet and then we can issue you a temporary Maryland voter certificate for your rental free of charge.

What is the range for Pontoon rentals?
Can they go to Assateaque?
Written January 14, 2018
I am sorry for the delayed response. The boundaries for a pontoon boats go down to the 50 bridge and all the way up north to harpoon Hanna’s. The boats are not allowed past to 50 bridge so you cannot go to Assateague Island.
