I parked my vehicle in the restaurant parking lot. We had to wait about 15 minutes for our boat to return from their current tour. When our boat arrived they unloaded their passengers so we could board for our tour. Our boat was packed with too many customers. We were on a high powered boat. We went out to the inlet and then turned around because the waves were too strong to go out into the Atlantic Ocean. We returned to the bay and eventually saw the wild ponies on Assateague Island. After seeing the wild ponies we returned back to the dock. The bay was littered with sand bars. Luckily our boat had a depth finder. There was one very large sand bar when we returned to our dock. Our captain knew where all the sandbars were located so he avoided them. Overall our cruise took about 1 hour. We were pleased with our cruise. More to come regarding our lunch.

You know when you have those rowdy people who you know shouldn't be drinking anymore but they are-- or those gals who are dancing like I need to be in a strip club-- well, our cruise of free of that nonsense! We were able to hook up our own music and bring our own food on board! There is a drink menu, so you can drink all you like-- they do a last call too-- cute, right?! .. it was strange at one point though.. our captain peed off the boat.. maybe he didn't realize he wasn't sneaky AT ALL. All and all, great experience-- we even saw some dolphins!

We dropped in 6+ spots for 10-15 each and most people caught something. I loved that there was NO loud music, just a peaceful coast & view of scenery. Damien, our mate, helped to de-hook the fish. He also was VERY knowledgeable about the types of fish and showed everyone the catch.
