We caught a nice load of shrimp. It was a nice trip that I have not seen before at vacation spots. Good crew and I learned a lot about shrimp.

Fun adventure! The kids couldn't wait to see what sea creatures we pulled up. Perfect amount of time on the boat too...not too long. Thank you Captain Spike and crew.

Parking is very tough- plan on being early. We did valet parking about a half mile away. They were very nice and waited for us! Thankfully. The excursion was really cool. You get to take home the catch as well. If there is enough they will split it up otherwise you will all decide amongst the group who gets to take home the shrimp. What's really cool are all the other critters you catch besides shrimp-like squid and various fish. The birds and dolphins circle the boat, so you almost get a free dolphin excursion out of the experience as well. It's not everyday you get to be on a shrimp boat-definitely do it!
