Take part in the Low Country tradition of shrimping aboard the Tammy Jane. See what it takes to bring these tasty treats from the sea to the table.

 

EXPERIENCE:

Join the friendly crew aboard the Shrimp Trawler Tammy Jane and see what daily life is like for local shrimpers. Start off with an introduction to the boat and the shrimping gear aboard. Then the boat will make its way to the shrimping waters off the coast of Daufuskie Island.

Watch as the nets drag across the seafloor. After this comes the real fun as you help the crew sort through the day’s catch on the sorting table. There will be a lot of bi-catch or other fish, sharks, and even stingrays that get caught in the net. The crew will go over what type of by-catch you should look out for, and will safely return these sea creatures to the waters.

You get to take the freshest locally caught Carolina shrimp home with you to cook. The amount of shrimp isn’t guaranteed as this is fishing, but it will be divided evenly among the parties aboard.
