Private Scallop Charter with In-water Guide

Snorkel and collect scallops on a guided Crystal River scalloping tour in Florida’s Gulf waters. This fun summer adventure includes gear, in-water guide, and the chance to bring home your fresh catch.

Experience one of the best scalloping tours in Crystal River, Florida during the exciting Florida scallop season! Just north of Tampa, Crystal River’s spring-fed waters and lush grass flats create the perfect environment for this fun, hands-on Gulf Coast adventure.

Scalloping is like an underwater treasure hunt—snorkel the shallow grass beds, spot scallops, and dive down to collect your catch. Our Master Captain and in-water guide will show you exactly how it’s done, making this a great experience for both beginners and seasoned snorkelers. While scalloping, you may also see manatees, dolphins, turtlers, birds and native fish - making this a true Nature Coast experience.
