Enjoy A Private Cruise From Ocean City to Assateague Island
A private cruise with Sea Rocket is one of the best ways to spend a day on the water in Ocean City. The whole boat is yours, with room for up to 12 guests, and a captain who shapes the trip around what your group wants to see.
From our downtown dock, you can head south toward Assateague Island. Look for wild ponies grazing along an undeveloped shoreline and keep an eye out for bottlenose dolphins in the channels nearby. Point the boat out into the Atlantic for open water, wind, and the Ocean City skyline behind you. Most groups end up doing a bit of both, and your captain will read the day and make the call on where the wildlife and the water look best.
What makes Sea Rocket different is the local knowledge behind the wheel. Our captains have spent years on these waters and know where the ponies have been grazing, where the dolphins have been feeding, and how to read the water on any given afternoon. That experience is what turns a boat ride into a trip worth telling people about.
Bring your own drinks and snacks, since every cruise is BYOB, and settle in for an afternoon that moves at your pace. All ages are welcome, and with room for 12 guests, this cruise works just as well for a big family outing as it does for a group of friends marking a special occasion. Our crew focuses on safety and creating a memorable private experience, with plenty of room for 12 guests to spread out and enjoy the ride!
