As we cruise to this enchanting island, keep your eyes peeled for the famous wild ponies. Did they swim here? Do they secretly moonlight as lifeguards? Your knowledgeable and wise captain will unravel these mysteries, sharing fascinating facts about the island and its incredible wildlife. Spoiler alert: you can’t pet or feed the ponies, but they sure do love posing for your photos! But wait, there’s more! Our cruise offers a selection of delightful alcoholic drinks for sale, and guess what? Your first drink is on us! So, grab a cocktail, relax, and let the magic of Assateague Island wash over you. Sip your drink as you marvel at herons gliding gracefully above, and maybe even spot a dolphin or two playing in the waves. When you take this cruise your first drink is on us. Additional drinks are available for purchase. You must be 21 to take this trip.
(WARNING: WE DO NOT GUARANTEE THAT YOU WILL SEE PONIES. MOST OF THE TIME THEY ARE OUT BUT WE DON'T CONTROL THEM.)

4.00Had a great time during the hour and a half long cruise. Didn’t see any horses or dolphins but the captain was very knowledgeable and showed us really interesting things around the area. It was fun to be out there and enjoy the sunset. Boat was small but only had 8 people on the cruise so we had a whole bench to ourselves. It was nice to be so close to the water too
Great boat ride around island
