If you're here to make the most of Crystal River, look no further than Native!
Native provides all necessary snorkeling equipment and bags to collect them in. There will be water, ice, and storage available as well. You'll get assistance from the crew collecting your bounty and pictures of your experience.
The Florida Bay Scallop lives in seagrass beds in waters anywhere from 4-10 feet of depth. Scallops may be easily found on or near the bottom of the seagrass beds and outlying sandy patches in the flats.
Scalloping can be compared to an easter egg hunt! Sometimes Scallops can even swim away when they see you, but they don't swim too fast. You will snorkel along with help from a guide, you keep your found Scallops collected in a mesh bag. Enjoy the fun and make a memory you'll be sure never to forget!
The fully outfitted boat is a spacious vessel with comfortable seating, covered to protect you from the sun. This boat also has an offshore radio, all necessary safety equipment, a color GPS/fish finder, as well as large coolers, and tons of storage. This boat is very powerful with 300 hp twin engines and provides a very stable ride with its cat design.

Capt. Horn and his crew were extremely accommodating, full of interesting tid bits of local lore and information about the beautiful Crystal River area, and the boat was perfect for out party. the assisted us with instructions in how to best dive for scallops and cleaned our catch! could not have been better! I will book him again for sure!
Had a great trip with Bobby and Alyssa. Fished half a day and Scalloped the other half. Bobby and Alyssa are one of the nicest couples you will ever meet. They work hard to make you feel at home on their well equipped boat. The weather was a little rough but that didn’t stop the 2 of them from trying to put us on fish. They went above and beyond running to different spots to put us on fish. The fish were not biting as much as we hoped it was not for lack of trying. We put a dozen mangroves in the box before heading back to Scallop. They put us on the Scallops…We managed to harvest our 4 gallons fairly quickly. I was a first timer and the two of them showed me what yo look for and I had a ball. Overall and excellent day with a great captain and 1st mate. Can’t wait to fish with them again.

In less than perfect weather conditions Bobby and Alyssa went above and beyond to get us a variety of fish and most importantly kept us comfortable and having fun! We were a group of 6 women with varying levels of skill and interest and they were accommodating in every situation. We are already trying to figure out when we can get back out on the water :)

Feels like hanging out with your buddy on his really nice boat. All fun, no stress scalloping. We limited and the mate cleaned the catch before we returned to the dock (not a common service for scalloping guides). Sent us home ziplock bags full of fresh scallops. 10/10 will use again.
Bobby and his wife Alyssa were amazing. We booked for a full day of scalloping, but after 31/2 hours we had our limit in scallops. Super friendly and helpful in getting started, since it was our first time scalloping. Will definitely book with them again and will spreading the word to family members and friends.
These guys were great. Easily accommodating for our large party. Because of the moon phase and high tides we had to move around to avoid current and depth for children. They were accommodating and helped us catch scallops as well. We had a great time! Will definitely do it again.

Captain Bob and Alyssa made a fantastic trip for us. The boat was clean and well cared for. They catered to our comfort and moved strong till we found fertile scallop flats. Plus birth are just nice, friendly, down to earth people that were a pleasure to spend time with. We will be back again! John and Michele
Captain Bobby and his lovely wife Alyssa took us out for our first scallop diving trip and we had a blast! They are very knowledgeable, friendly and attentive. They provide all the equipment you need, a cooler for snacks and bean bags to chill on while we were on the boat. Can’t wait to cook our fresh catch! Highly recommend :)
We haven’t been scalloping in a few years & Captain Bobby & Alyssa made sure it was a great experience for our entire group. We made a few different stops to ensure we would come back with a bounty which we did! We all had a terrific time and will definitely book again with Native. Thanks for an awesome day!

We enjoyed our half day scalloping, they made sure we got a ton of scallops, cleaned them up and were very kind and helpful
Captain Bobby and his first mate Alyssa were amazing! They took us scalloping and made the trip so fun! I felt like they both were super knowledgeable and they genuinely wanted to make sure we had a great time. We will absolutely be booking with them in the future! They had all the gear needed, plenty of ice and water provided.. just all around extremely enjoyable.

It was a pleasure meeting yall!! Thank you for coming out, hope to see you back soon!! 😎
