The Octolounge is the only private boat charter operating on Rehoboth Bay, and it turns a few shallow hours on the water into a fully customizable day: choose to anchor at Massey’s Landing sandbar and stretch out on floats and a water mat, hop from Irish Eyes in Lewes to Paradise Grill in Longneck, or stage a pre-night-out happy hour and return to the slip in downtown Dewey. An experienced captain, onboard music, and a compact suite of amenities make the boat feel like a private island for your group.

THE VESSEL

A Purpose‑Built Party Tritoon

The Octolounge is a 26 ft 2015 PalmBeach Ultra Sport tritoon powered by a 250 Yamaha outboard and fitted with a top-of-the-line Jensen stereo and Garmin GPS; it also carries a spotlight on the bow for night safety and the small-boat kit of coolers, a table and trash can.

THE SAND BAR

Massey’s Landing: Shallow Water, Big Hangouts

For a classic Rehoboth Bay day, anchor at Massey’s Landing sandbar where the shallow water is ideal for lounging on floats, playing sandbar games, and socializing—an option that works equally well for children and adults.

THE ROUTE

Bar‑Hopping Between Lewes, Rehoboth and Longneck

If you prefer a moving itinerary, the Octolounge offers a bar-hopping route from Lewes to Rehoboth to Longneck so your captain can shuttle your private group to waterfront bars like Irish Eyes and Paradise Grill while you ride with music and cold drinks in your cooler.

What the day feels like

What the cruise feels like

This is a private, small-boat outing that feels equal parts convenience and spontaneity: pick a two-, three- or four-hour window, climb aboard with your group of up to 13 people, and let the captain set the pace—drop anchor at the sandbar for a relaxed afternoon with floats and games, or plot a course for a string of waterfront stops for a guided bar-hop. The boat comes stocked with a floating mat, sandbar games, coolers and basic water on board, and the onboard stereo keeps the mood lively.
