• Gulf of Mexico - Experience the perfect blend of Florida’s radiant sunshine, the crystal-clear waters of the Gulf of Mexico, your closest family and friends, and a delightful day on the boat collecting our sweet and succulent bay scallops. It’s fun for all ages!

After a picturesque 40-minute boat ride from the river to the Gulf of Mexico, this cherished local tradition invites you to dive in and enjoy what many describe as a “saltwater scavenger hunt” or an “underwater Easter egg hunt.” These delicious mollusks nestle in the grass beds around Crystal River and Homosassa. Simply snorkel around, find your savory treasures, pick them up, and place them in your mesh scallop bag! It’s that simple. You’ll also have the chance to see a variety of fish, sea stars, sponges, and coral during your scalloping adventure.

Your charter includes a Florida Saltwater Fishing License, masks, snorkels, fins, a catch bag, bottled water, and an in-water guide to help you identify and maximize your catch!

Our clean and spacious boats can accommodate up to six (6) passengers, each with a USCG Master Captain at the helm.

A Florida-style underwater Easter egg hunt!!

From July 1st - September 24th, Bay Scallops are the name of the game when it comes to the ultimate in family fun! Found in the shallow water grass beds of the Gulf of Mexico, these delicacies from the sea are the ultimate in harvest to table experiences. Like Discover Crystal River says, “It’s a fun family-friendly underwater adventure; all you need is a mask, snorkel, flippers, and one exceptional charter captain” that’s where we come in!

After a scenic 40-minute cruise to the scallop grounds, you’ll don your masks, fins, and snorkels and grab a catch bag. (All provided in the cost of the charter.) Our in-water guide will get you started by pointing out these tasty morsels. Then it’s off to the races snorkeling to collect your treasure.

Once you’re back, you can even bring your catch to a local restaurant that will cook it for you. It’s a cherished local tradition and a Florida family favorite.
