Mac and Sarah did an amazing job giving us a tour. They were informative and helpful and provided a safe experience even though it was pretty bad weather to begin the morning. The trip was awesome and we caught a ton of scallops, would highly recommend them!
Jason, I’m glad we were able to make it happen even with the weather in the morning! Thank you for coming out with us and can’t wait to have yall back out!
Scalloping with Mac did not disappoint! He put us in a great spot and we all killed em. We did a manatee tour with Mac last year and totally enjoyed this scalloping trip. They helped us clean the scallops and then sent us to an incredible restaurant where they cooked them fresh for us. Highly recommend!
Cody! We had a blast taking you and your family out. The kids did awesome and we cannot wait to have you back out!
Captain Mac and 1st Mate Lauren made sure we had an incredible and lucrative scalloping trip. We'll certainly be back next year
Thank you so much for coming out with us! It was a pleasure taking you both out.
Hands-down, best in town! Capt Mac was very charismatic, professional, and safe. The boat was comfortable, even set up with beanbag chairs and a cooler with ice cold waters. Ended the tour with great memories, laughs, and loads of scallops! I’ll be back for sure.
Katie! You were an absolute blast and we cannot wait to have you back out. Please bring the dog next time!
Great trip and great captain. We limited out during our scallop trip. Probably one of the best boats out there. Will book again. 🤠
Jake, thank you so much for coming out with us. Can't wait to go shark and dolphin diving with you soon!
My family and I had an absolutely amazing time scalloping. Captain Mac truly cares about giving his customers a great experience. He is very knowledgeable about the ocean and plays great music. I felt very safe.
Gabriella! We had an absolute pleasure taking you and your family out. Cannot wait to have you guys back out next season!

Thank you for coming out with us and we cannot wait to take you out next season!
I’ve been scalloping before, but never was able to catch as much as I did on this trip! Captain Mac was so helpful and taught me the best ways to find the scallops. He and his guide also caught a ton that they let us take home. Will definitely be using them from now on. Thank you guys!!!
Frankie, thank you so much for the review. It means a lot to us that you had a great trip out there. Hope to see you again soon.
My friends and I had an amazing time! From start to finish, everything was smooth and super fun. Captain Mac was super friendly and incredibly attentive. He made sure we had all everything we needed and gave great tips to help us out. You can tell he genuinely loves what he does and wants everyone on board to have the best time. We even saw some dolphins along the way.
Crystal Lynn! It was awesome to have you out experiencing the scalloping grounds of Crystal River. Cannot wait to have you back out there. Thanks for the review.
We really appreciate how fun this experience was!!! Hats off to captain Mac for keeping us entertained and for knowing where all the best spots to dock at! I would 100% be booking this again next time we come to visit!
