My husband and I took the Tammy Jane shrimp expedition before it was sold to Vagabond and loved it. We took our family on this expedition expecting the same and were totally disappointed. The captain and crew were great but the guide didn't talk about the salt marshes and water life as the previous guide did. This guide spoke a lot about the recent hurricanes and damage they caused - not a good sales technique for the island. He also bagged up shrimp and had a drawing to give three bags to guests and we never received a number and thus were not included in the drawing for shrimp.

Had a fantastic time! The staff was awesome, especially Kailey, Ashlynn, and Spike! Could not believe how many dolphin we saw! It was like 2 excursions in one! It was so cool to see what we caught, which ended up being pretty impressive for a 2 hour trip! Would highly recommend!

We didn't even know that their was a tour like this! We were visiting Harbour Town and saw a sign on the dock in front of the boats talking about a Shrimping Tour. We found out that the trip was leaving in 30 minutes and they still had room for us so we said sure why not do this! We are so happy we did! The trip was really interesting and it was so cool seeing the fish/sharks/shrimp out on the table. The crew was very friendly and answered guests questions throughout the trip. Great job, we will be back!
