Privé sloopcharter in Crystal River – Duik naar schatten

I choose a private scalloping tour with my two grandsons (ages 20 and 13). Our crew were Robert and Alyssa. We could not have been happier with our experience. Though we didn't catch many scallops, we enjoyed a day on the water. We cooked and ate our catch for dinner. A wonderful experience.

Vince and Anthony were our Captain and guide. Very knowledgeable about the area, kept a close eye on other boaters for our safety, and Anthony helped ensure that everyone was successful is finding at least a scallop. It was a great first time experience!!

My husband and I chose to book a private scallop tour as well as a manatee tour. We arrived at 9am, watched a safety video, got fitted for scuba suits and then headed out to the boat. Their shop is like a mini mart with things you might need such as snacks, anti nausea medicine to name a couple. There is also a bathroom. Our Captain was Captain John and he was assisted by Heather. Both Captain John and Heather were very nice and very friendly. They were also very knowledgeable. They had a cooler with ice and drinks and we were also able to bring our own cooler on board. They both were very considerate of the well being and the safety of the manatees. After swimming with manatees we headed out to the Gulf to find scallops. Best boat ride ever! Sun shining, wind blowing and great music for your entertainment! They found a spot that was around 5 feet deep, we put on our snorkeling gear and started diving down to catch the scallops. It was very easy as long as you’re comfortable swimming. After we caught some scallops we got back on the boat and Heather was nice enough to clean all of the scallops for us. She also took a ton of pictures that were available for purchase. We brought two GoPros and ended up losing one while scalloping. Both Captain John and Heather tried very hard to help us find it but we never found it. Small price to pay for an unforgettable excursion! Luckily our manatee footage was on our other GoPro. We stayed in the Orlando area and the drive was not bad at all! Definitely worth it and a must do!!!! Sandy booked us and she was VERY nice. She gave great recommendations such as wearing a rash guard so you don’t get sun burned. All around a great company! We definitely will do this again!

Dakota was so good to us. He found a lot of scallops for us and was helpful in cleaning them. I am not that good of swimmer but I snorkeled on top for most of the time. The tour was on our bucket list. We always like to do environmental things. Our captain, Jim was very informative and we found him to care for the environment. Keeping our waters clean is a must for us and this company does so. I would like to come back to see the Manatees. I would ask for these same boat personnel. They were so accomodating.

Captain Judy was awesome, we had so much fun, she was knowledgeable and taught us alot about scallop

1st time ever and loved it! Captain Vince and Don were great..looking forward to next season! Thanks for an amazing experience!

Captain Vince and his assistant Adrienne were AWESOME!! Look forward to another trip with them. Thxs

Our Captain and snorkel guide were both great. They took us to different spots and we enjoyed the experience. My son had a great time and we will definitely go back again.

We had a great Captain and Wendy was an awesome Scalloping Guide.!Great time for all!Highly recommend!

We had a great time scalloping with Capt Vince and Don. This was our first time scalloping and we had a blast. There were two of us with Don as our in water guide. Combined we can home with two gallons of great tasting scallops. We had no idea they could be eaten raw but thanks to Capt Vince and Don, we know have a new favorite way to eat scallops. I would highly recommend this fun trip. The only drawback is the website says to be at the dock by 6:30. The shop doesn’t open until 7 and you don’t actually leave until around 7:30am. There website needs to be updated.
