After a day in the sun looking for scallops we cap it off with a dip in the Crystal Clear springs while enjoying Chef's special recipe (Scallop Ceviche) The other Captain is a licensed and insured Captain and one will be your in-water guide for the day.

Captain Mike and Jon were great! So were their co-captains! This is our 3rd year with them! Definitely going to keep coming back!
My family of four booked a scalloping tour with Captain Dirty Mike and Michelle…..and man are we happy we did! I can’t imagine there being a more knowledgeable pair. They were so patient, kind and went out of their way to answer questions and make sure our kids (and us) had a great scalloping adventure!
What an incredible experience! This was not just a scallop tour, it was an experience of a lifetime! Paul and Lucas were amazing, not only did we enjoy scalloping but they had all the amenities: made us fresh scallop ceviche on the boat with our harvest. They were fun, safe and took this tour to the next level and also took us for a dip in the freshwater springs. Amazing job, Thank you!
So much fun with Capt John He is fantastic with kids Easter egg hunting under water !!! I would highly recommend this for summer fun
This is a great time for all ages! This makes our 7th year to go out with Capt John and he didn't take anytime to put us on the scallops. Capt John worked hard to get us a limit and even takes you to the springs afterwards to round off your experience. This is a "must do" while you are in the area and Capt John gets our recommendation to get the job done.
Year after year we love going scalloping with Capt. John Spann! He always does everything to make our day enjoyable and fun. His knowledge of the area and his Young boat make for a wonderful day on the water. We highly recommend him!!
Great experience!! A must do! Captains Morgan and John are so much fun and knowledgeable! We will see them again! The Thorltons
Thank you for sharing your amazing review It is nice to hear you had an adventurous tour and now memory. Captain Morgan and Captain John are a dynamic duo! Come back and see us again we will be waiting on you!
Wow what a fantastic time. Capt Paul and Lucas are the best to go scalloping with. Picture heading out to scalloping grounds with the wind in your hair, sun in your face, music to match the vibe and the gulf like a mirror to the sky. Along the way seeing a dolphin and manatee. Once we got there they helped our five year old learn and collect her first scallop (and the ones after that!) They were patient with me and not overbearing with my husband who is a more confident diver. Lucas must be half mermaid! He swam the whole time and came back with a full scallop bag and his ceviche was the best. They even made friends with my youngest by the end who is shy. We ended the day with a dip in the freshwater spring by the dock to wash the salt off. It felt so refreshing! What kind, friendly people that clearly have a love and passion for what they do. There has clearly been a lot of thought put into the day. It is so rare to have a five star experience but they deserve more stars than that. If you are thinking about trying scalloping you won’t regret going with them.
That sounds like the perfect day! We're so glad you had a memorable time with Captain Paul and merman Lucas! It’s those little touches that make the memories even sweeter! How you described your trip to the scallop grounds made me think of a perfect day on the water. Thanks for sharing your experience — we’d love to welcome you back again for another magical scalloping adventure or come back this manatee season for a mesmerizing experience with our beloved manatees.
This was our third year scalloping with Captain Paul and Lucas and as usual we had an awesome time! Lots of laughs and scallops! See you next year Captain Paul and Lucas! Yee Yee!
Thank you so much for the wonderful review! We're beyond happy to hear that every part of your experience was professional friendly knowledgeable and a complete blast. Our team is passionate about what we do, and it means the world to hear it made an impact. We're especially glad to know you've walked away with a full filling adventure. See you again next season , we will have Lucas prepare more ceviche!!
This was our second year going on a scalloping tour and it has truly become our family’s favorite trip! We always have the best time. The crew even taught my kids how to shuck the scallops which they loved. We found six pounds thanks to our amazing tour guide who made sure we were successful. Their customer service is outstanding as they genuinely cared about our time, stopped to watch the dolphins and made sure the entire experience was fun and memorable. It was a wonderful, wonderful day and we are already looking forward to coming back every single year!
We appreciate your happy review as much as we appreciate your first time scalloping and choosing US! Come back again next scallop season for another fun filled adventure-the scallop[s will be waiting for your family!
