Overview

The Hilton Head Island 2-Hour Shrimp Trawling Boat Cruise aboard the Tammy Jane departs from Harbour Town Yacht Basin inside Sea Pines Resort. Guests board the open-air boat and spend two hours trawling nets through the salt marsh waters to catch shrimp and other sea creatures. The crew explains the local commercial shrimping and fishing industry, as well as how different ecosystems connect to form the food web that supports the area’s fisheries. Participants may help sort the catch during the trip. If shrimp are caught, the crew will package some to take home, although this is not guaranteed. The cruise offers views of the Harbour Town Lighthouse and surrounding marshland. Snacks and drinks are available for purchase on board. A vehicle entry fee to Sea Pines Resort applies and must be paid in cash at the gate; this pass is valid all day, allowing guests to explore the resort before or after the cruise. Check-in is at the Vagabond Cruise reservation office located next to the Harbour Town Lighthouse. The Tammy Jane provides some shaded areas but is mainly open-air, so guests should dress comfortably and use sunscreen on sunny days. Private charters for groups up to 30 passengers are available through Vagabond Cruise.
