This seasonal, interactive tour departs on Thursday, Friday and Saturday mornings at 10:30 a.m., beginning June 5th. The Shrimping Eco Tour is also available year-round on a private charter basis for field trips & groups
Deploying and retrieving the shrimp net, identifying the catch, and then releasing the catch back into the wild is just part of this interactive cruise, our Shrimping Eco Tour.
Shrimping Eco Tour
Join us for this hands-on encounter where you will help us deploy an otter trawl net, retrieve it, then learn all about your catch in aquariums while our onboard marine biologist helps you identify your treasures.
Known as the “Birthplace of the Modern Shrimping Industry,” dive into the heritage of Fernandina Beach, and experience the operation of the “shrimp” net, just like the ones that were historically developed here to catch the tasty crustacean known as the Atlantic white shrimp or litopenaeus setiferus.
After we safely release our catch back into the wild, we will cruise the enchanting backwaters and tidal creeks that form this estuary as we look for the abundance of wildlife that calls this haven home.
