As a family, the Crokers, Ron, his wife Sheila, daughter Melissa, and son Timmy were interested in finding a business that they could all build together while bringing a family-oriented business to the watersports industry in Ocean City, MD.

Ron decided to quit his normal 9-5 job in order to have the family working together with their own company. Ron and Sheila felt that Melissa and Timmy were at the age when they would be able to serve key roles in making their dream of owning a successful watersports rental company come true. Odyssea Watersports started off very small with just the four of them as its only employees with only eight jet skis.

As the name became more popular and the business grew, more activities were added and they now offer pontoon boat rentals, and jetski rentals! They have even expanded their business into a watercraft service shop, watercraft seasonal storage, and a load rite trailer dealership.

Still, the goal has stayed the same throughout the 26 years of maintaining Odyssea as a family-owned and operated business, and to make sure each customer feels like a part of the family. Safety and customer service have been the main goals!
