This is our most popular trip — and for good reason! Hop aboard the Bay Hopper and cruise to the magical Assateague Island, home to wild ponies, breathtaking scenery, and gumdrops falling from the sky! (Okay, we made that last one up.)

How did the ponies get there? Did they swim? Can you pet them? Can you feed them? Your knowledgeable captain will spill all the secrets about the island and its incredible wildlife — from the ponies to the birds to the dolphins that love making cameo appearances.

Bring the kids on this one and they'll love you forever. Seriously. Don't overthink it — just book the trip.

Produced by the pros at Blue Bimini, where safety, reliability, and top-notch customer care come standard. Every time.

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.

This trip - like all of our trips - is produced by the professionals at Blue Bimini where safety, reliability, and excellent customer care always come standard.  With us, you're in for a safe and unforgettable experience every time.

We know you work hard — and if you're in OC, you're here to relax. So we created this cruise just for you.

Board one of our Bay Hoppers and let our USCG Licensed captains take you on a soothing cruise across the Assawoman Bay. You'll find yourself gliding over water that looks like glass, ice-cold adult beverage in hand, stress melting away with every wave. Before you know it, you'll be laughing with a bunch of new friends and seriously considering how to quit your job and start a new life in OC.

We'll have craft brews, twisted teas, and alcoholic seltzers onboard — and your first drink is on us! This is an adults-only cruise. You MUST BE 21 OR OLDER to take this trip.

Want Assateague Island all to yourself? Well, we can't kick the ponies off — but we can give you the next best thing: your own private boat.

The Exclusive Assateague Tour puts you and up to five guests aboard the Eagle — a 28-foot Pursuit C280 center console and the newest, most premium vessel in the Bay Hopper fleet. Powered by twin 250 Yamaha outboards, this boat was built to go 100 miles offshore, so cruising the coastal bays feels like gliding on a sheet of ice. You'll have the whole boat to yourselves — no strangers, no shared schedules, just your crew and your captain.

Your captain will cruise you through the Sinepuxent Bay toward the north end of Assateague Island National Seashore, where the famous wild ponies roam free along nearly 10 miles of untouched, undeveloped shoreline. Keep your eyes peeled for dolphins, herons, osprey, and eagles — this stretch of water is absolutely teeming with wildlife. Want to anchor up near the island and take it all in? Done. Want to explore the shoreline at a leisurely pace? Say the word. This is your trip.

Connect your phone to the onboard Bluetooth speakers and set the mood. Load up the insulated coolers with your favorite drinks and snacks — this trip is BYOB, and we'll keep everything ice cold. And unlike our Bay Hoppers, the Eagle comes with a fully equipped head (bathroom) onboard, so there's no planning required. Three hours, six guests max, one unforgettable experience. This is Assateague the way it was meant to be seen.

We know you work hard — and if you're in OC, you're here to relax. So we created this cruise just for you.

Board one of our Bay Hoppers and let our USCG Licensed captains take you on a soothing cruise across the Assawoman Bay.

Before you know it, you'll be laughing with a bunch of new friends and seriously considering how to quit your job and start a new life in OC.

This is a Bring Your Own Beverage (BYOB) cruise! So pack that cooler with some ice and your favorite canned drinks and hop aboard! This is an adults-only cruise. You MUST BE 21 OR OLDER to take this trip.

Ready for an enchanting adventure? Step aboard the Bay Hopper and set course for Assateague Island — where wild ponies roam, majestic herons soar, and happy hour is always in full swing.

As we cruise toward this magical island, keep your eyes peeled for the famous wild ponies. Do they secretly moonlight as lifeguards? Your captain will unravel the mysteries and share fascinating facts about the island and its incredible wildlife. Spoiler: you can't pet or feed them, but they absolutely love posing for photos!

And here's the best part — our cruise features a selection of delightful alcoholic drinks for sale, and your first drink is on us! Grab a cocktail, relax, and let the magic of Assateague wash over you. Sip your drink while herons glide gracefully overhead, and maybe even spot a dolphin or two playing in the waves.

You've seen sunsets from the beach. You've seen them from the boardwalk. Now imagine watching that same sky light up in every shade of gold and pink from the deck of your own private boat — cold drink in hand, your favorite music playing, and not a single stranger in sight.

The Private Sunset Cruise aboard the Eagle is two hours of pure, uninterrupted magic on the water. The Eagle is a 28-foot Pursuit C280 center console — the newest and most premium vessel in the Bay Hopper fleet — powered by twin 250 Yamaha outboards that make the ride so smooth you'll forget you're on a boat. Stretch out on the cushioned bow seating and feel the evening breeze, or relax in the shade near the stern and let the colors wash over you.

Your captain will position the boat for the best possible view as the sun drops behind the OC skyline and the bay turns into a mirror of light. Along the way, keep an eye out for dolphins, herons, and the kind of wildlife that only comes out when the day starts to wind down. This is the golden hour — and you've got a front-row seat.

Connect your phone to the Bluetooth speakers and set the vibe. Load the insulated coolers with whatever makes the moment perfect — this trip is BYOB, and we'll keep it all cold for you. The Eagle also comes with a fully equipped head (bathroom) onboard, so there's nothing to worry about. Up to 6 guests, two hours, and the kind of sunset that makes everyone on shore wish they were you. Book this one before it's gone.

Forget the bay — we're taking you to the Atlantic.

The Eagle Dolphin Watch is unlike anything else in Ocean City. This trip takes you offshore into the open Atlantic Ocean aboard the Eagle — a 28-foot Pursuit C280 center console built to go 100 miles offshore and powered by twin 250 Yamaha outboards. This isn't a pontoon ride. This is a real ocean-going vessel, and the dolphins out here know the difference.

Atlantic dolphins are wild, fast, and absolutely electric to watch. There's a chance we might not find them on any given day, but we guarantee you our best effort — and the cruise itself through the open Atlantic is worth the trip either way. Sometimes they'll ride right alongside us, leap out of the water, and put on a show you won't forget. Your captain knows exactly where to find them — and in the Eagle, we can get there quickly and comfortably. Feel the power of the open ocean beneath you as we cruise past the OC Inlet, along the coastline, and into the waters where pods of bottlenose dolphins hunt, play, and do what they do best: blow your mind.

With only 6 guests max, you won't be fighting for a spot at the rail. Stretch out on the cushioned bow seating for the ultimate front-row view, or hang near the stern and watch them play in our wake. Connect your phone to the Bluetooth speakers, load up the insulated coolers with your favorite drinks and snacks — this trip is BYOB — and let the Atlantic Ocean do the rest. And yes, the Eagle has a fully equipped head (bathroom) onboard, because when you're on the ocean, that matters.

This is dolphin watching the way it was meant to be — offshore, up close, and on a boat that can actually handle it. Nothing else in OC comes close.

After a hard day in Ocean City you need a drink.  But you don’t want to fight the crowds at a bar.  However, you would like to get out and do something - if only you had a friend with a boat.  Welp, now you do have a friend with a boat!

(and what a boat this is: A 28' Pursuit we like to call "Eagle" that flies like her namesake and even has a restroom onboard... a real luxury cruise) 

Unwind with your friends at the Bay Hopper and jump aboard our Deluxe Happy Hour Cruise!  Your captain – and new best friend – will show you some of the best sites in OC like the OC commercial fishing harbor, Assateague Island, and Sunset Marina while your group is enjoying a few cold cocktails!  You’ll see amazing waterfront homes, yachts, wild ponies, and if you’re lucky a dolphin or two.

THIS IS A BYOB happy hour cruise.  This means that you get to bring whatever you'd like to drink onboard! We will have ice and a Yeti cooler ready for you!  

Crabbing is a Maryland tradition — and this trip brings it to life! Whether you've never seen a blue crab up close or you grew up picking crabs and want to pass that magic on to your kids, this one's for you.

Your captain — a seasoned seaman and crabber — will guide you to the hottest crabbing spots on the bay. Plot twist: he's already dropped crab pots at his secret locations, so by the time you arrive, there'll be a bunch of delicious creatures crawling around inside waiting for you.

Once anchored, you're on crew duty — help haul in the bounty! The captain will teach you everything you need to know about crabs, including how to cook and eat them. This is a get-your-hands-dirty kind of trip.

At the end, the captain divides up the catch among everyone who wants to take some home — which is typically everyone. Big hit with the kids!

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!!!

We are happy to take you and your group of up to 17 people around the bay to see the various sites and attractions of Ocean City Maryland.
