Justin was an incredible guide! This was our first time stalling, and we had a big Hall due to his coaching and making us feel safe on the water. We already sent his information to our friends couldn’t recommend him more.

We had an incredible day scalloping with Captain Justin! From start to finish, he made the entire trip safe, fun, and stress-free. He knew exactly where to take us, and we were pulling in scallops right away. Justin was extremely thoughtful and patient, teaching us the best techniques and making sure everyone felt comfortable in the water. His experience and knowledge really showed, and it made the day unforgettable. If you’re looking for a captain...

Nick was a great captain for us. He's very easy to talk to, knows his way around the coast and knows fish. We scalloped but I imagine he also leads amazing fishing trips. This was my girlfriend's first day snorkelling too, and Nick made sure she was comfortable all throughout. Although we came during the less fruitful part of the scalloping season, Nick still made sure it was a memorable adventure.
