About Your Trip

Scalloping charter trips are a great way to enjoy the Crystal River area and Captain Randall will make sure you have an adventure like no other! There is no experience necessary, and these charter trips are for all ages.

You'll be in good hands with Captain Randall. He's extremely knowledgeable when it comes to fishing this area, and he has years of experience guiding everyone from beginners to lifelong anglers. You'll start your trip aboard his 25' SeaPro center console, which is perfectly suited to this water, with a shallow draft and a powerful 300-HP Mercury outboard.

From when you arrive at the dock to when you leave after a successful day, everything is taken care of, including the rods, reels, bait, and tackle. Captain Randall will provide water and ice for your keepers. During your experience, he also offers photography, video, as well as the ability to keep your fish for mounting!

We had a great time, but didn't find many scallops, which could be because it was close to the end of the season?

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!
