Such a fun day. We had never scalloped before but Captain Brian made it easy. Found plenty and enjoyed snorkeling around the grass flats. Highly recommend if you’re visiting the area in summer.

Great day on the water. Scalloping is way more fun than I expected. Captain Brian was helpful the whole time and showed us a few tricks to find them in the grass. Boat had plenty of room for our group.

Took my family out with Captain Brian and it ended up being the highlight of our weekend. He knew exactly where to go and made sure everyone was comfortable getting in the water. We filled our buckets pretty quickly. Kids had a blast.
