About Your Trip

Join us for a 5 hour snorkeling trip where you can see all types of wildlife and pick up a tasty treat! While snorkeling you may see many types of fish, sting rays, turtles, seahorses, and many types of sponges and corals. Don't get too mesmerized by the beautiful surroundings to forget to pick up these tasty little morsels. The true novelty of Florida Gulf bay scallops is the fact that you can only get them yourself three months out of the year! All gear is included with this snorkling trip as well as license. Mask and snorkel, fins, collection bags, dip nets, buckets, and even floatation aids will be provided. Bottled water provided on every trip. A professional swim guide will join us to help you in the water and help collect scallops for your party.

About Your Guide

Gavin S.

Independent Guide

My name is Captain Gavin and I am an inshore fishing guide in the Ozello / Crystal River Florida area. I have fished the nature coast my entire life and have absolutely fallen in love with the fishery here. I have always dreamed of becoming a fishing guide to share my passion with people from all over the world and through some work I was successful. I began the journey as a manatee swim guide, earning sea time towards my captains license. That turned into captaining manatee swim trips, Eco tours, and airboat rides, until I had saved enough money to purchase my own boat and start my guide service. I run my trips specific to the client, meaning we will pursue certain fish species, as well as fish at the level of fisherman the client is. I enjoy my kid trips, inexperienced adults, educational, as well as professional level angler trips all the same. All trips are a private experience tailored to the client ensuring a good time in a phenomenal environment. Expect wonderful sights, great conversation, a few laughs, and of course some fish!

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