About Your Trip

Scalloping is one of the best family activities during summers in Florida. Splashing through the water and diving for the hidden snacks is like a marine Easter Egg Hunt, which is fun for everyone. Captain Mike will take you on a 4 hour adventure around the mouth of the Crystal River, where Scallops hide among the sea grass in the shallow flats. You can take home bagfuls of the savory shellfish for you and your family to enjoy!

Captain Mike’s 24’ Carolina Skiff is the perfect vessel for Scalloping. It can fit up to 6 guests, and the 150hp Mercury engine makes for a smooth ride amongst the grassy flats. At any point, you can grab the snorkeling equipment (provided by the captain) and hop into the warm water to search the grass for Scallops!

Captain Mike will also provide you with bags so you can stock up with more scallops than you can carry! All you need to bring are drinks, snacks, and appropriate clothing. You should also bring a towel to dry off after scavenging the sea floor. This trip is perfect for a family vacation, and should be a blast!

We vet our guides to make sure they are the best of the best. We want guides who not only put you on 'em, but show you a great time, keep you safe, and give you a memorable experience with your group.

Once you've paid your deposit at checkout, we'll send you a boarding pass. Just show your guide your boarding pass on the day of the trip, they'll scan it, the remaining balance will transfer automatically, and you'll be all set to get out there. Just make sure you bring a cash tip for the guide!

In the case of inclement weather, our guides will make the call and we'll work with you to reschedule your trip or issue a credit for the full deposit of the trip to be used on any of our trips across the country. Your safety is our top concern.

Each trip’s price is set by the guide and factors in all of their costs. A big determinant of cost is often the type of boat and associated fuel costs, but other guide costs include leases, marina / slip fees, bait costs, and the cost to provide and maintain all of the gear you’ll need on your trip.

Once you book the trip, we will connect you directly with the guide to go over any additional details. In the meantime, our team is always available to answer your questions via email, text, chat, or call!
