We were scheduled and got cancelled twice, but we finally got to go out on the Tammy Jane with Spike and Ricky shrimping. We were unsure what to expect, seeing it on TV and being on the boat is different. We had a wonderful experience, both Spike and Ricky were friendly, answered questions and professional. We will definitely do this again when we are back in Hilton Head and bring friends! I got to hold a Skate!!! The interaction with the marine life was amazing, best part for me! Thanks Spike and Ricky!!!

This was a fun way to spend the afternoon! Spike, Ricky, & Tiffany were a great team that made the trip insightful and relaxing. We learned about shrimping beds and their method to catch. I would say it's more of a 12+ or adult geared cruise because the children on board were bored and restless to say the least. Still towards the end when we brought in the catch, everyone got hands on sorting the by-catch, learning about local bait, and learning the regional way to devein/behead shrimp. While it was a fully booked excursion Ricky made sure every interested party had a cut. It was a great way to spend a few hours, that I look forward to repeating in the future!

We had such a great time on the Tammy Jane! Ricky and the rest of the crew were so knowledgeable, personable, and friendly. My two and four year old had a blast! I would definitely recommend this to anyone looking for something fun and different to do while in Hilton Head.
