1-Hour Private Party Assateague Island Pony Cruise in Ocean City

Gets you up close and personal with the Assawoman Bay and Assateague Island. Local operators know the area and know the history so you get a real perspective of the area. Safe and comfortable boat.

We had a great time! We got to see the horses right away, which was very cool. We had a lovely cruise around the bay. Private tour was definitely the way to go!

Easy, chill, personal experience with the small boat and just us. Owen was outstanding really went the extra mile literally to get us a great herd sighting, super close up.

Our tour was at 8:30am and we showed up 30 minutes early (as directed) and there wasn’t anyone there. Called the agency and they said we were in the correct location and crew should be there soon. At 8:35 I called again and they again said the boat should be arriving. At 9:00, I called again and was then informed that our tour had been cancelled by the company due to the captain calling off. I understand things happen, but I was never called, emailed, or received any communication from the company on the tour being cancelled. Wasted 2 hours of our day and had two very disappointed children.

My family and I attended a 1 hour private cruise on Sunday 8/2/26. Our cruise was scheduled at 5 pm but we had left a little early (I guess due to the impending weather) quite frankly, my family and I travel a lot, we do a ton of excursions and this one was by far the worst cruise we have ever attended. Our captain, Wilson, did not tell us ANY information about the island, he asked us 1 question, if my family was just here for the weekend. He shows us the osprey as well. Other then that, he was on his phone and did not communicate with us what so ever. We did not see 1 single horse, we didn’t see one single dolphin. My 5 year old daughter was absolutely devastated. I paid $200.00 for nothing. To sit on a boat for an hour with a stranger that didn’t even speak to us. I’m sure this is not the first time you have heard the same thing. I understand it’s wildlife and it’s a gamble, however, it was not even a tour. If it was an educational tour and our captain communicated with us, I wouldn’t be upset. While we were waiting to board the boat my child needed to use the bathroom, the bathroom smelled like urine, it was dirty and there was no toilet paper. I went out to ask at the counter for toilet paper and was told “we are out”. This was disgraceful and an embarrassment to their establishment. I emailed them 3 days ago and also have not heard back from them since. I wouldn’t recommend this to anyone.

Great experience. Owen, our guide was very informative and friendly. Would suggest this for anyone who appreciates nature.

So much fun! Our guide Brett went out of his way to make sure we saw dolphins, the ponies, and even an Osprey. He was super knowledgeable and we learned a lot about boats, the weather, the houses on the bay, the ponies and their history and he even threw in a restaurant and Ferris wheel ride recommendation. Brett was full of stories and even explained why there were so many jellyfish around. He was the best, and made our tour memorable!

It was an overcast yet sunny warm day on the water. We had an experience captain in Wilson who navigated the choppy Waters with all of the jet, skis, and other boats out on the water on the same day. He found a dolphins and horses on to take in. My son got even lost his hat Anne Wilson was able to recover it quickly. It’s a great hour excursion if you wanna do something on the water.

We lucked out and the water was very calm. It was a very enjoyable excursion. To see the horses was awesome.

Thank you, Owen! Our family had an amazing time and Owen was an experienced and knowledgeable guide. We learned so much about the history of Ocean City and Asseteaque Island. The trip was easy to book and well worth the money.
