Experiences
The Assateague Island Boat Tour is one of our most popular trips! Once you board the Bay Hopper, we’ll cruise to the magical and elusive Assateague Island. This island is famous for its wild ponies, unicorns, and the gumdrops that fall from the sky!
How did the ponies get there? Did they swim? How many ponies live there? Can you pet the ponies? Can you feed the ponies? The answers to these questions, facts about the island, and the other amazing wildlife living on - and around - Assateague can be answered by your knowledgeable and wise captain.
This is a trip you will not forget. Oh, we should mention that if you have kids and you bring them on this trip that they will love you forever! Don’t be a bad parent. Book this trip now!
Please note that the part about the unicorns and gumdrops might be a very slight exaggeration.
If you’re looking for a great way to unwind then this cruise is it! You’ll board our Bay Hopper at either our West OC or our North OC location. We’ll then head out into the Assawoman Bay. The Bay in the evening slows down and gets calm and quiet. All you have to do is sit back, grab your favorite beverage, take a deep breath of the salty ocean air, and relax.
The Bay Hopper will glide you across the water giving you a front row seat to some of the Bay’s most amazing wildlife. At this point, you might reach for one of those delicious snacks you packed for the trip and notice the lights in OC start to pop on. Then, you simply watch the sun melt into the water. At this point you’ll feel so relaxed that you might not be able to keep your eyes open.
Once the sun sets, your captain will pilot the Bay Hopper back to our pier and you can start your evening on the town refreshed. Or, you have a couple of more drinks, look at the tv for a while and go to sleep. Either way, you’ll feel good.
Ideal for celebrating special occasions, getting out on the water with a large family group or bar hopping with friends!
We love our mulit-generational groups!!!

Join us for a stress melting, special 1 hour and 15 min cruise on the Assawoman Bay.

Before you know it, you'll be laughing it up with a bunch of new friends and contemplating how you can quit your job and start a new life in OC.
This cruise will be stocked with some fine brews, twisted teas, and alcoholic seltzers. And, because we want you to enjoy yourself - your first beverage is on us! This is an adults only cruise so, you MUST BE 21 OR OLDER TO TAKE THIS TRIP.
In a partnership with Pier 23, we are offering a much better alternative to trying to park and walk across the bridge from West OC or trying to somehow get back and forth between the festival and the mainland! We have secured two boats and captains and will be running an express ride over to MR Ducks, which is within a couple hundred yards of the Oceans Calling Festival. The price listed is for up to four individuals to have guaranteed parking (one car only) at Pier 23 and a ride to the festival at the premium times (before the shows start and immediately following the headline acts.
We will be shuttling two boats at staggered times from our Pier 23 Floating Dock. We will offer only 5 of these special trips designed to get you into the festival either right as the gates open OR at 5pm each day.
