What to expect

Charters will leave from Ms Fins Oarhouse Marina to an area in the gulf we call "The Scallop Grounds" (About a 25 minute boat ride). Once at our first location guests will gear up with a mask, snorkel, fins, and a scallop bag, all provided with your charter. And when you're geared up and get in the water, you essentially start to snorkel along the surface and look down into the seagrass for scallops!
Once you spot a scallop, you'll dive down, grab it, put it in your scallop bag, and repeat!
You will also have an in-water guide included with your charter that can help assist anyone newer to snorkeling or scalloping. They can help teach you their tips and tricks on how to locate and find scallops and how to dive down and catch them as well. The best way to describe this activity is like an underwater easter egg hunt!
The limit for scallops in Citrus County is up to 2 gallons per person or 10 gallons per vessel, so the goal is to fill your limit!
There will be two separate coolers aboard stocked with ice, one for scallops and one for food & drinks. So feel free to bring lunch, snacks, drinks etc.
When the charter is over we will return back to Ms Fins Oarhouse Marina.
