Sail the Boat that Sailed the World! Sailing trip in Ocean City

Join Captain Steve Butz for an unforgettable sailing adventure in Ocean City. Experience dolphins, wind-powered sailing, and stunning Atlantic views.

Duration: 2 hours
Cancellation: 1 day learn more
Highlights
  • 12817 Harbor Rd - We will go through the OC Inlet (often the roughest part of the entire journey) and then let the wind dictate the triangular shape we will sail.

Keep in mind that this experience is real open ocean sailing! The Captain and crew have yet to be able to control the wind and seas…although there is no lack of effort on that account! Typically June, July and August on the Atlantic Coast features gentle, rolling swells as a “sea breeze” builds throughout the day. But not everyday is “typical.”

This trip is, of course, weather dependent. If the captain feels that there is any risk given the conditions of a particular day, including a forecast that doesn’t look promising, then the trip will be cancelled. You will receive a full refund in the event of any cancellation.

Ocean sailing is something that can be a once in a lifetime experience and even a gateway into the sport of sailing. Join us and experience an incredible way to see “the other side” of Ocean City.

What's Included
  • Bottled water
Additional Information

Join Captain Steve Butz for a unique Ocean City adventure! Set sail on the Atlantic Ocean and watch as OC disappears into the distance, surrounded by the pristine waters of the Atlantic. The real excitement begins when the diesel engines are turned off, and the boat glides smoothly powered solely by the wind. This journey is all about the joy of sailing! Playful pods of dolphins often swim right at the bow, offering a once-in-a-lifetime natural spectacle. If the wind is favorable, we’ll also enjoy a brief sail along the OC coastline.

  • Must be able to climb on and off boat

Great sailing, fun and adventure experience - We came back and the experience this year sailing Alyosha with Capitan Steve was phenomenal. We have a private charter for 4 hours, we enjoy sailing in front of Ocean City, swimming on the bay, watching dolphins and the catamaran itself! We brought sandwiches/wraps for lunch and our own beer/cocktails. They offer water and delicious ice cream. The catamaran is confortable, clean and has a bathroom. Steve has lots of experience and will share with you his sailing knowledge. We’ll come back! High recommended!

A MUST SEE AND DO IN OCEAN CITY, MD! - What a fabulous experience for the entire family! The catamaran was unbelievable. Captain Steve and his daughter kept the wind in our sails and gave us a beautiful cruise along the coast and out in the bay. We even saw dolphins! Best part of our trip to Ocean City, MD.

Complete Relaxation - We took the 4 hour open ocean sail and it did not disappoint. We departed on time and came back exactly on time. Steve and his daughter were amazing and watching them sail was the best part for me. His daughter is an absolute girl boss on the water and Steve’s experience adds the most interesting twist to this peaceful sail. Took my husband, teen daughter, and 21 year old daughter. Everyone loved it. I actually took a long nap on the water and still had time to chat with the other passengers. The captain also strikes that perfect balance of checking on you, making sure you are safe, and giving you time to just simply enjoy the ride. What a life experience!.

Amazing Trip! - We had a great time sailing the Alyosha!! My husband and I went and it was such a beautiful boat and trip on the bay. The waters were calm and we even saw horses. Steve and Adam were great! Welcomed us at the pier and showed us their beautiful boat. Steve even gave us some of his ice cream which was soooo good!! We will definitely be finding his shop! We were also able to bring our own food and drinks. We had the best time and we are so grateful for the experience! We will definitely be back again!

awesome trip - We had a great experience on board of the Alyosha. Tranquil sail, amazing atmosphere, clean and comfortable boat. Captain Steve and his wife were experienced and knowledgeable as well very great hosts and hospitable. We sailed for about 2 and an half hours, the time spent on board was divine and most serine. The view of Ocean City and the ocean were spectacular. We all were very happy with our trip, highly recommended.

The perfect evening cruise - Captain Steve and his 1st mate, Sarah, his daughter, were very hospitable. Captain Steve was very accommodating the minute we arrived on his ship. My wife and I had a wonderful time. Would do it over again in a heartbeat.
