Family of First-Timers
Half day scalloping (pm trip) on June 22, 20262 adults2 children

Captain Randy was knowledgeable, professional, and put us right on the scallops. He went above and beyond by considering the age of our children and put us in water that was safer for them. He handled all the equipment and had everything ready to go for us. All the equipment (snorkeling gear, boat, etc.) was is great condition. He even thought to take family pictures for us and shared them. We would highly recommend this charter for first time scallopers. We look forward to coming back for another trip soon!

Fun Scalloping Trip
Full Day Trip – Scalloping on June 17, 20266 adults

Our family of 6 spent a great day out on the gulf catching scallops with Captain Randy and his crew. The captain and crew were very engaging and made sure everyone was having a good time, the boat was comfortable and in good repair and we caught scallops. My daughter summed it up best when she said “It didnt feel like we hired a guide, it felt like we spent the day hanging out with friends”. I would highly recommend the experience.

Half Day Trip Fishing (AM) on June 30, 20262 adults4 children

This charter is excellent for a family with young kids and teens. Captains Randy and Chad are kind, easy-going, and flexible. After catching several types of fish, we decided to let the kids jump in to get some scallops. They took us to a great shallow spot, and the whole family had a blast. This is our second year with them, and we will be back again!!

Scalloping was a success!
Half Day Scalloping (am trip) on July 15, 20266 adults

Terrific experience with Captains Randy and Chad, super guys and very nice, thoughtful and patient. Five of the six of us had not scalloped before and they were terrific. We caught "almost" our limit, super happy with pontoon boat, equipment, captains. Next time tell us to bring flippers. :)

First time Scalloping! Had a super time!
Half Day Scalloping (am trip) on June 18, 20266 adults

When you haven't done something before, you don't know what to expect. For us that didn't matter because the Cap'n & crew knew where to go how to scallop and they assisted us with everything we needed them to. The LFG guys are very friendly and professional. Would definitely book with them again.
