About this experience
Unlike other JetBoats that just zip out into the ocean in a straight line—yawn—Osprey plays in the twists and turns of Assawoman Bay. Think: roller coaster meets nature cruise. Yes, seatbelts are required. No, your sunglasses probably won’t stay on.
Depending on weather and boat traffic, we aim to sneak in 2–3 of Osprey’s signature high-speed spins each trip. This isn't your typical JetBoat.

During this 40-minute adventure, you’ll scream, laugh, and gasp your way past stunning coastal scenery, catch sight of the boat’s namesake—the majestic osprey—and if we’re lucky, spot wild ponies, dolphins, and all kinds of feathered locals along the way. (We can’t guarantee wildlife, but we’ll definitely keep our eyes peeled and our binoculars handy.)
And it’s not just thrills—your captains double as expert guides, sharing stories and facts about the local ecosystem at a few calm spots during the ride (you’ll want a breather anyway). Depending on weather and boat traffic, we aim to sneak in 2–3 of Osprey’s signature high-speed spins each trip. Safety, of course, is always priority number one.
