You will learn how to properly shuck an oyster and will go home with a shucking knife of your own. The memories will be in the details. We will set up in “flash-mob” “pop-up” style along the water. Expect the unexpected.”

Thank you for helping me arrange this special day. This crew definitely went above and beyond to set sail!” – Cody
