Deluxe Happy Hour Cruise
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.

Bathrooms –Believe it or not, this boat has a small bathroom onboard!

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.
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.
