Did the Assateague Island cruise this morning. Captain Chris was awesome. He was well-versed in the area and took time to ensure everyone was having a good time. We saw horses and dolphins on this trip. I would highly recommend this to anyone coming to Ocean City Maryland.

I booked a cruise with OC Hopper to see Assateague Island and the surrounding area waterways. While I was mainly interested in photographing the ponies, we got to see them and alot more! Our trip had Captain Chris at the helm. He told us lots of interesting stories about the area, he even tried to show us Michael Jordan’s boat (super yacht) but the GOAT was gone fishin’! Knowing I was a photographer, Captain Chris made every effort to bring us near interesting areas including an osprey nest settled quite permanently in someone’s boat! The boat now forever lost to the birds as they are an endangered species, as is the money someone paid for that boat! I would highly recommend this tour, thanks to Captain Chris and some terrific weather it was an excellent and fun experience!
