The best scalloping trip - We had an amazing trip today with myself and two kids seven and 12 years old. The captain was so knowledgeable he took us at the right time to the right place and that’s what important for scalloping. We had so much fun and full bucket of scallops thank you guys very much and we will come back.

Second Year & Can’t Wait For The Third! - This was our second scalloping season with Captain Todd and we had such a great time with him and his wife! We will absolutely be back next year for season again, they know great spots to find more scallops than we could even eat.

Will repeat. A really great time ! - We had a blast ! Todd and Leah were a lot of fun and great guides. We’d highly recommend this if you’re here during scallop season. Relaxing and laid back AND got to enjoy a lot of fresh scallops we just caught - cooked by a local restaurant. Personable, informative and fun. We will be back !

Fun for the whole family - Incredible experience. Captain Todd and Heidi are true professionals: so easy going, safe, and experts at coaching first-timers ( including kids) through scalloping. Can’t wait to get back out here next year!!

Wonderful experience - We booked 2 boats with captain Todd and his wife today and had a fantastic time. He knows the water well, which is super important you find someone who does bc we have seen several spots where boats hit the shallow rocks! Todd’s wife Heidi is a fantastic scalloper and their Boat is amazing and smooth! They made us feel comfortable, watched out for us and our kids and were fantastic company. We will find him again next season and maybe even this winter for the manatees. Thanks Todd! -The Kurtz Fam

10/10 would definitely book with them again - Todd communicated clearly and was a great captain and Leah did a great job of making sure we didn’t walk away until handed. It was a beautiful day and a great trip.
