Shuttle Service (Transportation) for the Festival

Our OC Bay Hopper shuttle service will be operating from 10:45am until midnight on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday.

Pricing will vary by location, as low as $15 per person one way for the shortest rides from West OC.

You will be booking a specific trip on one of our shuttles which has limited capacity. Your ticket is for a specific departure time and location and cannot be easily exchanged for another time/location if you are not there for the scheduled departure (we expect the boats to sell out).

Please know that we will refund any/all money for the shuttle in the event that the concert is cancelled OR the weather on the bay is unsafe/miserable for water transportation.

How to Book
Launch the OC Bay Hopper app and navigate to our Shuttle Service. Choose the date you’d like transportation tickets, the number of adults/children, and type (one-way vs. round-trip).

For “Hop On Location” you can choose either

  1. OC Bay Hopper- West OC Harbor
  2. Ocean Pines Yacht Club
  3. OC Bay Hopper- 118th Street in North OC, or
  4. OC Convention Center

For “Hop Off Location” choose Oceans/Country Calling Festival, which is a short walk to the boardwalk and festival area.

Frequently asked questions

Most frequent questions and answers

Do I have to choose a specific departure time?

Yes. Our boats have a limited capacity and we do not oversell the seats we offer. For that reason, you must choose a specific departure time (and you will see that times are SOLD OUT when we reach our capacity limit).

Do children/babies need a ticket?

Yes. Everyone needs a ticket to ride the OC Bay Hopper, regardless of age. Our boats have limited capacity and and even a baby or “lap child” counts toward that capacity limit.

What if the weather is bad?

If we are unable to run the boats due to extreme weather, we will give you the option of a credit (that never expires) or a full refund.

What is your cancelation policy?

For festival transportation, we allow cancelation with the option of a full refund if you provide 14 days notice to us. You can reply to your emailed confirmation /receipt requesting cancelation.
