A Private Sunset Cruise Through Ocean City’s Back Bays to Assateague Island
Come watch the sun set over the Ocean City and Assateague Island skyline aboard your own private boat with Sea Rocket!
Take a ride on our 22-foot skiff with family or friends. Your world class captain builds the route around your group, heading toward Assateague Island National Seashore as the light starts to change. There is no set script and no other passengers aboard, just your group and a captain who knows these back bays well.
As the golden hour settles in over the water, look for wild ponies grazing along the Assateague shoreline and keep an eye out for bottlenose dolphins swimming nearby. The island’s undeveloped coastline looks completely different lit up at sunset, and your captain can point out landmarks like Sunset Marina and the Commercial Fishing Harbor along the way.
BYOB is welcome, with no glass permitted, so bring your favorite drinks and snacks for a relaxing evening on the water. All ages are welcome, making this a great fit for couples celebrating an anniversary, a small family outing, or a group of friends looking for a memorable Ocean City sunset.
Sea Rocket has run these Ocean City back bays for years, and our captains know where the light and the wildlife tend to line up best on any given evening. Join us for an evening on the water!
