About Your Trip

Want to spend a day swimming around the shallows of the Gulf Coast in search of Scallops, while also reeling in some big catches on the same day? Join Captain Vince as he explores the Crystal River and the shallows near the Gulf of Mexico.

You can enjoy the best of both worlds on this 9 hour charter, which is available for up to four guests. Not only can you look for and take home delicious Scallops using snorkel equipment provided by Captain Vince, but he will also help you find a variety of Redfish, Grouper, and Snook in the shadow of the mangroves. In addition to snorkel equipment, Captain Vince will provide you with licenses, rods, tackle, bait, ice, water, and he will clean any fish you catch. He will also clean your scallops for a small fee of $6 per gallon in shell.

With all these services available, you only need to bring snacks, swimsuits, towels, and beverages to have an incredible experience. This nautical easter egg hunt comes with the added benefit of casting lines into the crystal clear shallows, so take advantage of an amazing experience.

Once you've paid your deposit at checkout, we'll send you a QR Code boarding pass.

In the event of inclement weather, our guides will check the conditions and make the final call on whether its safe to go on the trip. If they decide the trip needs to be postponed, we'll work closely with you to reschedule or provide a credit for the full deposit, which can be applied to any of our trips in the US and beyond.

Each trip's price is determined by the guide and reflects all associated costs. A significant factor in pricing is often the type of boat and the corresponding fuel expenses. Additional costs may include leases, marina or slip fees, bait, and the expenses involved in providing and maintaining the necessary gear for your trip.

After booking your trip, we'll connect you directly with your guide to discuss additional details. In the meantime, our team is here to answer any questions via email, text, or phone.
