Overview

Your scalloping adventure will last about 5 hours. All of your gear is included. This will be your mask, snorkel, fins, bag for collecting scallops, and your fishing license. You will snorkel the grass flats of the Gulf of Mexico hunting for the bright blue eyes of the scallops in a an Easter egg hunt suitable for families. You may harvest the lesser of 2 gallons of scallops per person or 10 gallons per boat. We provide an in-water guide on all trips to help with snorkels and to assist in your scallop hunting. All scallops collected by the guide will be yours as well. The scallops are small and very sweet. This is a private scalloping charter. We require a booking equivalent of 4 people. Additional people can be accommodated, just let us know.
