This was a wonderful way to spend the morning! It was a beautiful day on the water, we were well informed on crabbing and the local area and the crew: Alissa, Ethan and Captain John, were wonderful guides! Hope to do the shrimp trawling someday!! We saw tons of wildlife...dolphins, shark, mana ray, jellyfish and of course a plethora of crabs! Thank you for a great day!

Super interactive, knowledgeable staff, fun day on the water that included dolphin watching and holding different crabs and (non stinging) jelly fish.

Super fun time!!! Crew checked crab pots & brought up to show us. Kept were the larger, non-pregnant blue crabs & the claws (only if they had (2) claws) of stone crabs. Customers who wanted got to keep & take home the kept crabs/claws.
