Book Your Experience

Assateague Island Boat Tour

Take a scenic boat ride on the Assawoman Bay on the "other" side of Ocean City. This grand bay experience will allow you the option of being dropped off at the North End of Assateague for some exploration or to stay on the boat and cruise into the Sinepuxent Bay, south of the bridge, looking for wild ponies!

Expectations

Designed to really get you out of OC for an adventure, this trip departs from our kiosk location (on 118th street next to Food Lion in the Ocean City Square Shopping Center) for a casual 45 minute boat ride down to the shores of Assateague Island. Feel free to bring snacks and beverages of your choice as you take in the grandeur of Ocean City by the bay and all of the boat traffic below the Route 90 bridge. (we will provide a cooler and ice for your use...) If you want to do some shore exploration, our captain will drop you off at the North end of the island and then pickup about 30 minutes later. (there is a $10 fee for park entrance additional for this option) If you want to stay on the boat and head deeper into the coastal waters next to Assateague, you are welcome as there is plenty of nature to take in as the bustle of Ocean City fades into the background! The adventure will last between 2 and 2 and 1/2 hours. PLEASE NOTE: THIS TRIP HAS A 4 PERSON MINIMUM.

About the Weather

Aligned with the goal of ensuring all OC Bay Hopper customers have a great experience, we will only run trips that are deemed safe by our Captains. Generally, the weather on the coastal bays of the Ocean City area is very pleasant but sometimes storms and thunderstorms do occur.

In the event that your trip is cancelled, you will receive a full refund. Sometimes, the weather conditions, particularly high winds causing choppy seas, will allow us to run a safe trip that is a bit unpleasant.

Our captains will always strive to let people know when conditions will be less than ideal and if conditions warrant a possible refund you may choose to not take the trip. (But sometimes those rough passages make for the best experiences!)
