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.

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.

Crabbing and eating these interesting creatures is a Maryland tradition.  If you've ever wondered how to catch a blue crab or how to eat them then this is the trip for you!  Likewise, if you grew up eating crabs and want a taste of the past or would like to give your kids some of the great memories you have then this trip is a must.

On this trip, your captain - a seasoned seaman and crabber – will guide you to some of the hottest spots on the Bay for catching crabs.  Your sneaky captain will have already dropped some crab pots in his favorite crabbing locations so that by the time you reach them they'll already have a bunch of delicious creatures crawling around inside.

Once anchored, you’ll be recruited to 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 great opportunity to get your hands dirty.  

When you depart the boat at the end of the trip, your captain will divide up the bounty amongst all who want to devour them – which is typically everyone.  This trip is a big hit with the kids!

What happens when you take pizza and you add that to a boat on the water? Mama mia - I'll tell you what happens - you get a great time!!!

We'll leave the dock at the Bay Hopper Kiosk on 118th street with some delicious pizza from Squarz Pizzeria on the boat for your cruise!

This 90 minute cruise will have you and your family or group of friends avoiding the lines at various restaurants and enjoying your meal with the incredible coastal bays as a backdrop.

A real memory-maker!

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

Join us for a stress melting, special cruise on the Assawoman Bay.  Board one of our Bay Hoppers at our 118th street location in Ocean City OR Downtown at our new location next to Jackspot (307 Dorchester); our USCG Licensed captains will take you on a soothing cruise and show you OC by water.  You'll find yourself gliding across water that looks like glass while enjoying an ice cold adult beverage.  All your stress will float away.  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.

Just want to get out on the water, and off the beach, for some day drinking and bar hopping? There are over 23 bars and restaurants on the coastal bays waterfront that are accessible on the water. On this Bay Adventure, you will stop at 3 of them and get to see the entirety of Ocean City by water! The bar hopping  will start in West OC's Commercial Harbor (Have an Orange Crush at Harborside!) and then continue on to Fish Tales... A final stop will be Ocean City's most famous location: Seacrets!!! Find a spot you love? No worries, you can skip the rest of the trip at any time...

The idea here is to get you and your family (or a group of friends!) out on the Bay for some swimming in the “much-warmer-than-the-ocean” waters! It is shallower too, no worries about "shore break."

Depending on your group and the conditions, Bayside swimming can take place off of one of the many sandy beaches on the Bay (including the infamous “Sand Bar,” where the locals all hang out!) OR you can decide to head down to Assateague Island to swim just offshore and potentially see the ponies… (There is a landing fee per person that we pay the National Park Service, so let us know if that is your intention.)

We have an assortment of floats and noodles, but feel free to bring your own (within reason, no large rafts that will impeded other customer's experience).

If you have a specific swim spot in mind, and a larger group, consider a “Private Charter” for this block of time and the captain will take you wherever you want to swim!This adventure takes place almost every weekday, departing from the OC Bay Hopper North OC location at 118th street in Ocean City.

OC Holy S#!T, a hilarious cruise offered on the coastal bay of Ocean City, explores the area's weird history, unusual landmarks, most ridiculous people, and the best stories that Delmarva has to offer.

The tour meets at the Kiosk next to the Food Lion off 118th Street. Travelers (locals and visitors alike) will meet Highwire’s hosts dockside and bask in the calm harbor vibes.

Participants will triumphantly but safely march down our floating dock and onto the vessel ‘Oyster Catcher’ creating a measurable amount of jealousy from onlookers and curious bystanders- most of whom thought the Food Lion was the epi-center of our shopping plaza!

The adults in the room will drive the boat while the audience sings songs, learns (no guarantees), plays games, and re-invents uses for Old Bay.

Everyone will disembark as changed human beings. What could go wrong?
