Once you board the Bay Hopper, we’ll cruise to the magical and elusive Assateague Island. This island is famous for its wild ponies. After a boat tour of the island we will return to the Bay Hopper location at 118th street. This is a 2.5 hour trip. We'll spend 45 min traveling from 118th street to Assateague. Then we'll spend about 60 min at Assateague. Then the boat will travel back to 118th which will take about 45 min.

We enjoyed this relaxing trip. The captain provided interesting information and showed us points of interest along the way. We saw quite a few of the wild horses on the island. The only downside was that we waited for a late arrival before departure which meant that we returned 1/2 hour later than anticipated and had to readjust our schedule.

We struggle sometimes with the decision to simply leave those arriving late altogether vs. trying to accommodate. Clearly there is a downside to leaving late and we are sorry for the inconvenience caused by a late arrival!

My family and I had a wonderful experience with Captain Patrick!at the helm. It was a beautiful day to see many species of birds including an American Bald Eagle. We saw the beautiful wild horses of Assateague Island grazing near the shore and Captain Patrick made sure that we had the best photo opportunities possible! My daughter had a blast steering the boat, as did other individuals as well. I would recommend this to other families. It is the experience of a lifetime!

The captain was very entertaining and personable, and thorough in the information he discussed about the areas we visited. A delightful way to spend a few hours!
