Step-by-step itinerary

Private boat cruise and wildlife viewing

  • Arrive 25 minutes early
  • Board the Skiff Boat
  • Customize the trip route
  • Enjoy views of Ocean City and Assateague
  • Spot wild horses and dolphins
  • BYOB and relax on the boat
  • Return to dock after 1 hour

The Experience

The boat leaves exactly at the time of your reservation, so arriving 25 minutes early is not optional—it is the only way the trip runs. You and up to four others board a skiff with a captain who knows where the wild horses gather and where dolphins move through the shallows. The route is yours to shape: head south of the inlet toward Assateague where the ponies are most likely to appear, or stay closer to Ocean City for the evening views. The captain reads the water and the light and adjusts on the water itself.

A 1-hour cruise means you are moving the whole time, not anchored. The skiff is built for near-shore work, so you stay close enough to actually see what you came for—not scanning the horizon through binoculars. Bring whatever you want to drink; there is no bar on board, but the "BYOB" setup means you control the evening. Infants ride on an adult's lap. The boat runs regardless of weather that is safe to navigate, and service animals are welcome.

What’s included

  • Private boat transportation for up to five passengers.
  • captain for the full hour.
  • fuel surcharge.
  • the option to customize your route toward Assateague or Ocean City depending on what you want to see.

Is this one for you?Book this if you want to steer the itinerary yourself—the captain takes you where you choose, so a group hunting for wild horses can head straight to Assateague, while another group chasing evening light stays near Ocean City. The fixed hour means you are not paying for idle time on the water.

Top questions

Can I choose where we go on the Assateague Island cruise?

Yes. The captain will take you wherever you want within the hour—south toward Assateague where wild horses are most common, or along Ocean City's shoreline for the evening views. You decide the direction and the captain navigates to the best spots for what you want to see.

What are the chances of seeing wild horses on this cruise?

Wild horses are most likely when you head south of the inlet to Assateague, which is where the captain will take you if that is your goal. Dolphins also move through the near-shore waters. Sightings are not guaranteed, but the captain knows the patterns and the timing.

How many people can fit on the boat?

The skiff holds up to five passengers plus the captain. Infants must sit on an adult's lap and count toward the five.

What time does the boat leave, and what happens if I am late?

The boat leaves at the exact time of your reservation and does not wait. You must arrive 25 minutes early to board, so plan your travel to the dock with that buffer built in.

What is included in the cruise price?

Private transportation on the skiff, the captain, and fuel surcharge are all included. Bring your own drinks if you want them on board.
