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.

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!

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!
