We took the Tammy Jane shrimp trawl last summer on a trip to Hilton Head and had a great time! The crew was very friendly and informative. It was myself and wife aboard along with two other family's so we were able to ask a lot of questions to the first mate. He even got my wife to pop a head off of a shrimp which I didn't think was possible! lol We plan on visiting again on our upcoming trip this summer!

We werent sure about what it meant to go shrimping but thought it might be fun after our other cruise was cancelled. It isnt a real 'hands on' experience with actual shrimping but we did learn about the nets, the process and were able to take home some of the shrimp caught. The time on the boat waiting was spent learning about the hatbor and the shrimping business, watching dolphins, birds and other wildlife. Its a great option for families.

We took this trip and our family loved it! Very informative and lots to see. It was an added bonus to have dolphins join us for the entire trip, and throw by catch up to the seagulls to see them catch fish in the air. I would definitely recommend!
