Total wast of time. 90 minutes of trolling with nothing to do. No info about the marsh or the shrimp industry. The captain didn’t speak directly to us. Caught a total of 9 shrimp. What a rip off.

We took the afternoon shrimp boat and really enjoyed it. We had 3 and 6 year olds with us. I highly recommend it if you want to entertain children for 2 hours. Many birds and dolphins followed the boat, so it’s like a nature cruise, too. The adults and older kids will learn about shrimping and the younger ones will enjoy being on the boat and seeing all the shrimp and fish caught.

We did this trip a few years ago and returned again this year. It was just as good. We took both our 8 year old and 15 year old. They both had a great time.
