Spent 2 hours with Captain Spike and Ricky on the trawler Tammy Jane who showed us the fine art of catching shrimp. It was very informative, with Ricky explaining all the science behind it as well as identifying all that was caught. Shrimp catch was divided up amongst those on board after instructions on how to properly remove the heads. Loved feeding the birds with the heads on the trip back! Highly recommended if you're in the area and want to know more about shrimping. Great for all ages!

This was my third time on the Tammy Jane and I am not getting tired of it. The Vagabond Cruise team does an amazing job, it starts with the friendly girl in the ticket booth and continues with the tour guide and the skipper of the trawler. We had a very knowledgeable tour guide and we learned a lot about the pristine environment, Hilton Head and Daufuskie Island as well as the wild life we caught in the net. I will make sure to recommend this experience to family and friends.
