Best Florida experience for the whole family! - This was by far one of the best experiences we have shared as a family here in Florida. The captain Paul and his friend Jake were so wonderful with our children. They made the experience fun for the whole family. My son who is 7 has never snorkeled before was made comfortable with the water while we all looked for scallops. For my daughter who is 9, They went above and beyond making sure to stop on the way back to spot her favorite animal a sea turtle. We even got to try some of the scallops on the boat cevece style. This trip was so worth the stop and we will be definitely back again. Not to mention we caught so many scallops!😁

Best scalloping team ever! - Jake and Lucas were the BEST! It was the end of the season, so we didn't find many.. But Lucas hunted for them for over an hour and gave us what he found. Then shucked a few, seasoned them and gave us those to eat.. Would definitely go with these guys again.

July 24' Fantastic Scalloping Family Trip - Our families chartered 3 boats with Captains Paul, Morgan, Cole, Lucas, Jake and John. We had such a great time with a large group of 13 of us including 7 kids and 6 adults. All of the captains were knowledgeable and attentive to our needs. Zipping through the mangroves was so much fun and an added bonus. We even had a watermelon fight that ended up with us getting rooster tailed by another boat. My boys had a blast and we would definitely book again with these guys!

Things to do in Florida - scalloping - Fantastic family experience with Captain Paul and Lucas! They took us to a great spot and taught us how to spot scallops. Lucas’ ceviche was a delightful treat and swimming in the springs a refreshing end to the outing. We look forward to repeating this experience soon.

Amazing experience!! - We had the best time scalloping with Captain Paul and Lucas! They made our first experience so fun and safe! They were amazing with the kids too! My 7 year old and 10 year old were able to dive down and find scallops and really feel a part of the adventure with Captain Paul! Then they let us get refreshed by bringing us back to the spring and swim, while Lucas made us a few scallop ceviches with the scallops we caught which were so delicious!! We can't wait to do it again and wouldn't choose anyone else to go with!
