My sister and our families really enjoyed our shrimp and crabbing trip with Captain Mike. He was a very knowledgeable captain and we felt safe the entire trip. The kids were so excited to be able to help and learn about commercial fishing. We look forward to taking the rest of the family on our next trip with Captain Mike.

WOW! TALK ABOUT EXCEEDING EXPECTATIONS! You never know how things are gonna go with fishing, that's why they call it "fishing" not "catching" however...... CATCHING is ALL we did with these boys! We had an AMAZING and beautiful day out on the water with the kids, they loved learning about the process and so did the adults! At the end of the excursion we walked off the boat with a whopping 40 pounds of shrimp and FULL bushel of crab! IT WAS EPIC, The quality of the shrimp and crab was absolutely beautiful to see! We EASILY got back in seafood what we paid for this trip!!! So if you go out and do the same be sure to remember and tip WELL because these boys deserve it! WE WILL BE BACK!
