Scallops Florida Scalloping Scallop Season Crystal River Scalloping

    Crystal River's Nature Coast area may be the most popular scallop harvesting destination in Florida! Since scalloping reopened in the crystal river area in 2002, after being banned for several years, Crystal River has proven to be one of the most poplar areas for scalloping. Due to the banning, scallops in our area have once again become abundant.
    Scallop beds are located mostly in shallow water, which makes it easy and fun for the whole family! A snorkel, mask, fins, and a bag are all you need to enjoy this sport.

    Our boat leaves dock at 7:00 am and returns at 1:30 pm the season is only open from July 1st thru September 10th. (So remember to book as soon as possible to insure that seating is available.)
The prices include snorkel, fins, mask, and bag.
