Texas Gulf Trawling Shrimp Boil & Tour

Step into the heart of Texas Gulf shrimping and experience the rich traditions of a family-owned industry that has been casting nets since 1950. From the salty breeze of the Gulf waters to the bustling docks of Brownsville, this immersive shrimp boat tour offers a behind-the-scenes look at one of the region’s most iconic trades - all without leaving the dock. 

Witness the craftsmanship of shrimpers in action, learn the difference between wild-caught Gulf shrimp and imported alternatives, and indulge in the fresh, flavorful bounty of the sea.
