About This Tour
After many years of scalloping we have teamed up to perfect the art of Scalloping in Crystal River. You can expect a safe and fun tour with us. We start with the best equipment possible and follow up with fun and entertainment. One will be your personal DJ, Scallop hunter and last but not lease Chef. After a day in the sun looking for scallops we cap it off with a dip in the Crystal Clear springs while enjoying Chef's special recipe (Scallop Ceviche) The other Captain is a licensed and insured Captain and one will be your in-water guide for the day. Your fishing license and all your equipment is provided, as well as bottled water. Our trips leave right from our own private docks so there is no need to pay for parking or shuttle!
