Captain Spike, Lauren, and Ian were such a great team. They were able to send us home with over 3 lbs of shrimp (they would have given us more if we could eat more). They taught us about the ecosystem, birds, sealife. My 4 year-old absolutely loved it. FYI, Hudson’s on the docks will cook your whole shrimps if you ask very nicely. (go before 6 or after 8pm). My entire family absolutely loved this experience.

Unique experience and a highlight of our trip. The two kids in our group (boys ages 5 and 11) really enjoyed it. They loved helping process the shrimp. Note that you wait 45 mins. or so while the net is down picking up shrimp; next time we would bring games or something to occupy the kids. For the grown-ups, it was nice just being on the water, seeing the dolphins and birds and other scenery, having a few drinks.

The small trawler named Tammy Jane was not worth the money. We realize weather is unpredictable so no one’s fault for that. However, the crew was NOT knowledgeable at all about the shrimping process and did not provide the educational experience that was expected especially since on of the crew was allegedly a marine biologist. Our 2 hour trip was a little more than 1 hour long due to weather. No apologies. No offer for discount on the next trip like many other ships. This was a tourist trap.
