This was by far the best trip we’ve taken. Grew up on the Gulf Coast and never been shrimping before. Learned so much and got to keep some bounty for a delicious shrimp cocktail at home. Weather was cold but sunny and a beautiful day! Thanks so much for a great trip! Price is right too and just long enough at 2 hours .

My husband and I went on the Shrimp Trawler while visiting Hilton Head over Christmas. Captain Spike and Mate Kailey were very informative which made the expedition both educational and fun. We even rolled up our sleeves and helped to de-head the 25lbs of shrimp that were caught. At the end of the trip the shrimp were divided up to the passengers who were interested in taking some home. Can’t wait to serve them on New Year’s Eve!

This boat trip is a winner in so many ways. The docks at the base of the Lighthouse in Harbor Town could be its own day trip event. The boat was clean, the crew professional and and the time productive. We signed up to be on the water and to learn how the Shrimp boats work. We left with a nice bag of fresh shrimp. Deduct the price of shrimp from the price of the ticket and you can’t afford not to go. Perfect day for a family, educators or a local to take an out of town guest Thank you Spike, Collin and Katlyn. Stunning day.
