Traveler reviews
Perfect for the family to see the sights without the hassle of multiple other families.
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.
Captain Didn’t Show 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...
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.
