Scalloping, Sunrise & Dolphins - We had an amazing time with Dylan and Josh. A beautiful sunrise, a ride through the mangroves, watching dolphins swim beside the boat, and then, best of all, catching our limit of scallops! The entire trip was amazing. Dylan is a great captain and made it a memorable scalloping trip. He provided snorkeling gear and everything we needed to scallop, including water and Gatorade on the boat. He even had conditioner to spray in our hair so it wouldn't tangle with the masks. I would highly recommend booking with this team! We will be back next year for another trip! Thanks Dylan and Josh!

Great time! - We had a blast on our morning trip. The weather was great and Dylan gave us all the tips on how to find the scallops. Would definitely do this again.

Fantastic scalloping experience - Captain Dylan made our (my husband/wife) experience the best by taking us to the scalloping hot spots, monitoring our safety, use of snorkeling equipment, teaching us how to search and handle them. He made sure we got our maximum and he taught/demonstrated us how to shuck and cook. Captain Dylan is professional, experienced, friendly, and fun! We didn't want our experience to end! We love scallops raw or cooked, and made a delicious linguine scallop dinner. We will definitely book our next Scalloping experience with him! Thank You Captain Dylan, Penny & Ron

Highly recommend ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ - We caught scallops up to what was allowed. The Captain was adamant we find the best place. He was knowledgeable, professional, and I would totally do it again. not only did I feel safe, but I was also impressed with how clean the boat was.. All of my kids 7 being youngest had such a great time! This is why you hire somebody because they know the local ins and outs.

10/10 would recommend - Went for a fishing and scallop charter with my family. All 4 of us caught our limit for scallops, then Capt. Dylan took us to a fishing spot where we all caught redfish. We had to throw a couple back, but we were able to keep some really big ones!

Scallop Limit and Good Times with Big 3! - Hopped on the skiff with my good buddy Captain Dylan from Big 3 Charters, and it was one for the books. We limited out on scallops in no time and had a blast doing it. Dylan knows these waters like the back of his hand—put us right on the action without wasting time. What I really appreciate is how easy he makes the trip. No stress, no guessing—just good energy, local knowledge, and a guide who actually cares about you having a great time. If you’re looking to scallop, fish, or just get on the water and do it right, Big 3 Charters is the move. Book the trip—you won’t regret it.
