Learning about the trawler industry and the equipment, nets, and methods used to bring shrimp up. The crew explained everything very well. They were each personable and went through the catch with us. Each type of sea life caught in the net was shared and explained before returning them to the sea.
Great experience!

Outstanding trip in the Calibogue Sound! Crew was knowledgeable and fun, provided comic relief as well as very insightful information on the surrounding ecosystem. Learned a great deal about what goes into the shrimping process, and gained a greater appreciation for shrimpers, as well as some great wildlife sightings! To top it off, we got to some of the ships catch home, and was the most delicious flavorful shrimp yet! For a great time out in the sun, helpful crew, getting your hands a little dirty, and some tasty food, highly recommended this trip!
Great Experience! Won’t disappoint.

Crew was great!!! They were informative and professional.
We enjoyed the new experience of shrimping! We enjoyed the cruise. It was hot ( bring a hat ). We saw dolphins and beautiful birds. After trawling for 45 mins. They pulled up the catch. It was full of lots of sea creatures. We got to hold them and then throw them overboard. Shrimp we could keep!!!! They bagged and iced them for us too. Great day!!! Thanks

We went Shrimp Trawling with our two sons (5 and 4 years old) and their cousins (ages ranged from 2 to 10). Sky and Spike did a great job explaining the shrimp trawling process and answering our many questions about the Hilton Head area!
The first half of the trip was a little boring for our kids since the net has to sit out for a significant amount of time and there is little to do. Make sure to bring water and possibly an umbrella for shade.
Once the net came up it was worth the wait! The net catches many different types of animals that the kids got to hold (i.e. sting ray, fish, jelly fish, hermit crabs, etc.). The non-shrimp animals attracted pelicans, dolphins, and even a shark! It was amazing! Our boys also loved popping the heads off the shrimp! Even with 19 people on board, we got a pretty sizable batch to cook up for dinner!
The boat is small and, even though the waters are calm, my nephew got seasick. If you have motion sickness, I'd recommend avoiding. Also - this trip was probably not ideal for the 2 year old since manuevering around the deck can be tricky.
