Blue crabbing excursion at Capers Island Preserve

This family-friendly outing takes place on the scenic waters around Capers Island Preserve. The excursion departs on a shaded vessel equipped with a restroom and beaching ramp, allowing for easy access to the shoreline. You'll use hand lines and nets to catch crabs while your naturalist guide explains the life cycles of blue and stone crabs. Expect opportunities for dolphin-watching and other coastal wildlife sightings during the ride.

Once on the beach, there's time to swim, explore, or continue crabbing with a catch-and-release approach. The excursion culminates in a hands-on crab boil featuring freshly steamed crabs served with melted butter, Old Bay seasoning, and refreshing watermelon. Suitable for all ages, this adventure combines education with outdoor fun.
