This retired shrimp boat is now an excursion vessel that offers up-close views of winding marshes, wildlife, and secluded islands. Trips are available to Sapelo, Blackbeard, and other lesser-known barrier islands. Choose from two- to four-hour tours, sunset cruises, or even overnight trips. The boat is outfitted with a galley, bathroom, rooftop patio, and six beds for lodging.
