The cruise narrator knew tons of intricate details about the history and places we passed, especially about Cumberland Island. He explained the history of the horses on the island: their origin, breeding and band habits. He gave lots of detail about the Carnegie's and the incredible mansions on the island. He also answered lots of questions from the cruise participants. He was engaging making jokes and quips throughout the cruise. Clearly he has not just done this many times, but has studied and visited the area's history.

We boarded at 6:15, and were promptly on our way at 6:30. It was a very fun guided tour that taught us a lot about the area's history. We didn't see the wild horses, but we did see dolphins!! And, of course, we saw the most beautiful sunset! I am very glad we got to do this tour since they allowed our pup, and the experience was one of our favorite of the trip.

We found out what we have been missing! First, the boat and crew: The sailboat is a catamaran with a living area (Sherry and Gaelen call it the salon), a kitchen, bedrooms, and several bathrooms. The deck has a freshwater shower, lots of seating area, and grill...and the boat is immaculate. We had spent very little time on boats, but this one impressed us! Sherry and Gaelen are the crew, very welcoming and helpful, and particularly patient with children (we had 4 aboard). Second, the trip: We left their dock right next to the USS Yorktown mid-morning for a tour of the Charleston harbor, and finally anchoring just off Morris Island, a small recreational island empty but for a lighthouse. After swimming off the boat and having lunch, Sherry and Gaelen took us over to the beach on the island (by way of their dingy named "Minion"). We spent the afternoon enjoying the beach and the company, finding shells and sharks teeth, and watching the never-ending parade of boats go by. As the day closed, we returned to the dock and disembarked. It truly was a fantastic day, and I would recommend this charter to anyone living in OR visiting Charleston Visited July 2013

This is one of the best adventures I've ever been on and I would do it again and again…read more Lady Jane is a United States Coast Guard certified 49 passenger steel shrimping vessel retired after years of loyal service to the shrimping industry. She has been painstakingly refurbished for cruising pleasure and is the only shrimp vessel on the entire east coast that has been certified by the USCG to carry 49 passengers offshore 20nm.. For $40 (worth every penny), you get out on the water while the crew trawls the water. They do this twice, pulling up all kinds of sea life, and take the time to explain everything and passengers are encouraged to touch, ask questions and hold the animals. We set sail from the dock in Brunswick and soon were winding our ways through the inland waters of St. Simons Sound. The marshy surroundings seemed to glow in the late afternoon sun, while a line of seagulls trailed behind us awaiting their dinner. Captain Larry E. Credle is operator/owner of Credle's Adventures LLC " The Lady Jane," and president of Coastal Marine Consultants, a company that provides expert consults for marine related incidents. He is a marine surveyor and holds memberships in a number of professional societies. The title of Captain comes from holding a U.S.G.C Master's Rating. Captain Larry has served in the United States Coast Guard Auxiliary for many years, holds a number of specialized qualifications and is an instructor. He comes from a family with a rich heritage on the water. The first time Larry was called Captain, he was running a commercial fishing vessel in the family business. He has been active in building and repairing boats from 11 foot fiberglass dingies to hand laid 70 foot vessels. A lifetime of working on the water has prepared him for his current position as owner and master of the Lady Jane. Our guide - Cliff - was not only incredibly knowledgeable, but has been sailing these waters with his dad - the Captain - since he was nine years old. Talking to him was the closest I might ever come to meeting a marine biologist. A walking marine encyclopedia, doing the work of his father, and his father's father. After trawling the water for about 15 minutes, Capt. Larry instructed him to pull it up. Shrimping nets are outfitted with wooden tongues that help keep them open underwater as they dredge the ocean floor. The Lady Jane runs a single net, however commercial shrimp boats are able to run multiple nets at one time by using giant booms which extend from the sides of the vessel and keeps them from becoming tangled underwater. Fish, sharks, sting rays, jelly fish...so many awesome things came out of that net! Cliff took the time to explain each different kind of fish and interesting things about each of them. Like, if you rub the belly of the blue crab it falls asleep. With a quick tap, it wakes right back up. He told us when shrimp sense danger (using that really long hair in the front) the curl up and shoot back While we were learning about our catch, John Tyre, USCG Licensed 100 ton Master, was cooking up some shrimp for us to eat. He grew up aboard his fathers shrimp boat, the late Benny Tyre, a well known commercial fisherman. John learned from his dad the in's and out's of commercial fishing. He is also a firefighter.

I wanted to take my 16 year old daughter out, as she has never been on a boat. Capt. Mark explained this may not be a good fishing day. Due to all of the extreme rain we had, the water was very muddy. Oh but he knew a few spots, and it was excellent. The day was beautiful, the water was perfect, and calm, and every cast received a bite or a hook, . We had an awesome "grilled red and speckled trout dinner" that night, and the best part, was my daughter caught the biggest fish. Capt. Mark's love of fishing, all of his life, is what makes him the best Capt. for charter fishing in the Golden Isles. I can't say enough great things, or wait to go back out with him. Thank You for many wonderful experiences in this 1 perfect day.

Let's give the positives first. The fried chicken was crispy and delicious. Although the kitchen help were suffering in a hot kitchen with one fan and no air conditioning. We were told the air would start after we reached so many miles out. The entire trip was without air. The boat itself was nasty. The bathrooms were nasty. The handrails were gross and sticky ( everyone of them!). The little cocktail tables in the lounge looked like they had been cleaned with a greasy rag. The entire boat reminded me of a decommissioned boat being put back into service for an emergency use. This boat is not ADA compliant (maybe because it is too old). There were no elevators on a 3 level boat. Let's just say my knees are screaming. I saw passengers on a walker and in wheelchair, needless to say they were stuck on the bottom level. I saw very little excitement anywhere. In a group of 10 people not any could say they even came close to winning. I didn't hear any whistles or cheering denoting a big win. All in all I was underwhelmed with joy. Very disappointed with this venture. F. Barber

They also charge a toll to get into the beach community with state residents paying I believe six dollars or so and out of state residents paying closer to 10. However, it's definitely worth it as there is plenty of parking along the entire island beach strip, including a really great fishing pier at the end of the island that also has a bait and tackle shop located within the park. We found the beach to be clean, the facilities to be well kept, and more importantly, not overly crowded. The beach here is well traveled, however so this is not soft, supple sand, but much more hard packed, which allows for running, bike riding and recreational activities in general. There were several families fishing in the same vicinity of other families playing in the water which could present a bit of concern with regard to potential hooks and fishing tackle in the surf, but it didn't seem to bother anybody. This is definitely going to be our go to beach for the foreseeable near future.
