Scalloping in Homosassa is like an
"underwater easter Egg hunt"

Scalloping is part snorkeling experience, part treasure dive and part saltwater fishing experience that can be enjoyed by family members of all ages. Spend quality time with your family and create memories that will last a lifetime!

Some clients will book an entire day and spend the morning scalloping and the afternoon swimming in the crystal clear spring water at the beginning of the Homosassa River. Our custom Young 24 has a smooth comfortable dry ride and can easily accommodate four to six divers.  Why not scallop from the nicest, sleekest, fastest, coolest, and classiest charter boat in all of Citrus County! All it takes is a snorkel, a mask and a mesh bag to get in on the action.

The bag limit is 2 gallons of whole scallops, (in the shell), or 1 pint of scallop meat per person per day. In addition, no more than 10 gallons of whole scallops or 1/2 gallon of scallop meat may be possessed aboard any vessel at any time.

Cleaning of scallops is available dockside. We supply license, coolers, ice and expert instructions, in and out of the water. What you'll need to bring is snorkel, mask, fins, drinks, food, and sun protection, (hat, t-shirt, lotion, sunglasses).

Homosassa scallop tours start at $450.00, for one to four people for a half day adventure and $75.00 for each additional person up to six people per vessel. We do two Scallop charters per day, the morning charter is from 7 to 11 AM, and the afternoon charter is from Noon until 4 PM. We highly recommend the morning charters for a few reasons, fewer boats so it's not as crowded and much safer, (especially weekends), it's not as hot and less chance of summertime thunderstorms. We have perfected the technique of catching Scallops in Homosassa, and over the last few seasons, we usually catch our limit of scallops within two hours! We have many clients that return year after year to enjoy what is best described as an "Underwater Easter Egg Hunt"!!
