This experience was both educational and enjoyable. Capt. Dave's passion for his work is evident, and I gained valuable insights into crabbing. I'm eager to participate again! Children would absolutely enjoy this water adventure. I'd rate it 10 stars if I could.

Amazing experience!
We had an incredible time crabbing with Captain Dave and our three children. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed it! Captain Dave excelled at explaining the crabbing process and ensured the kids were involved and engaged. The staff was friendly, taking the time to learn our names and share all the information we wanted. I wholeheartedly recommend them for any of their activities.
