    Amazing Scalloping Trip

    Half Day Trip (PM) Scalloping on August 8, 2026 • 3 adults

    My friends and I had so much fun during this scalloping trip. Captain Heath was so chill and very knowledgeable about how to spot scallops in the sea grass. We ended up catching a lot! Next year we are definitely going to book with him again!

    Great Fishing and Great Memories

    Half Day Trip (AM) Inshore Fishing on August 2, 2025 • 4 adults • 2 children

    Captain Heath was incredibly professional and made the entire experience unforgettable for me and my family. We were thrilled to catch exactly what we came for—redfish! The service was outstanding. He provided all the equipment and beverages, and took us to several great spots to make sure we had the best chance of catching fish. He was friendly, knowledgeable, and truly a top-notch captain. We’re already looking forward to booking with him again!

    Red Fish 4/2/24

    3/4 Day Trip Inshore Fishing on April 2, 2024 • 4 adults • 2 children

    Booked a 3/4 day with Captain Heath. Caught our limit in tide/water conditions that weren’t in our favor. Heath is relentless in his pursuit and had the perfect concoction of patience and pursuit. Had our children tag along (7 & 8 yo) and he was perfect with them. Kept them entertained with guide related conversation and got them in the fight with the red fish. Can’t express enough how happy I am with our booking with Captain Heath. The meet up or launching point is private and secure. If you want to get your moneys worth and have a great trip this is your guy. We will definitely be back and he will be my first contact upon returning to Crystal River. Once again thanks so much it was a blast!

    Great Trip

    3/4 Day Trip Inshore Fishing on March 14, 2024 • 1 adult

    If you’re looking for a captain that takes fishermen fishing then this is fantastic trip. I’m an avid fisherman and appreciate a guide that treats me like it. This was exactly what I got. It was good fishing and great conversation. Felt like I was fishing with an old friend.

The Best Way to Experience Crystal River Scalloping
Half Day Trip (AM) Scalloping on July 4, 2026 • 4 adults

Heath was an outstanding guide for our family’s first scalloping charter. My husband, our two preteens, and I had an amazing time. He put us on the scallops, and we were able to catch our limit! The boat was comfortable, clean, and had plenty of room for our family of four. Heath was patient, knowledgeable, and made the entire experience enjoyable from start to finish. Toward the end of our trip, a storm rolled in. Rather than rushing back to the boat ramp, Heath made our safety and comfort his top priority. He navigated us away from the storm and waited until it was safe to head back. Even though we returned later than expected, he never rushed us and still took the time to clean all of our scallops. We couldn’t have asked for a better first scalloping experience. If you’re looking for a knowledgeable guide who genuinely cares about his guests, I highly recommend booking a trip with Heath. We will definitely be back!

Half Day Trip (AM) Scalloping on August 4, 2026 • 4 adults

Captain Heath was very accommodating when having to change our booking due to Florida summer storms. He even got up at 5am to confirm our trip was good to go before we got on the road to drive over. We found quite a bit of scallops at our second stop. Heath never made us feel rushed, we always felt safe, had fun and didn’t have to clean the scallops!

Great scallop trip!
Half Day Trip (PM) Scalloping on July 5, 2026 • 4 adults

Great day on the water with Captain Heath. We caught some scallops but the area was very crowded. We still had a really fun experience. Captains communication was excellent before and during the trip. We will be booking a fishing trip next with him. Would definitely recommend. Remember to wear a UV shirt while scalloping.

Book with Capt. Heath
Half Day Trip (AM) Inshore Fishing on April 6, 2026 • 2 adults

Capt. Heath at Red Fin Addict Inshore Charters was phenominal. 10/10 recommend booking with Heath. The trip landed us a nice take home fish but that wasn’t the best part, it was the knowledge and conversations we got from Capt. Heath. We had an absolute blast on our half day trip!

Reported catch:
Redfish

It was a tough bite for sure. The conversations were definitely epic. Hope to fish with you again. Safe travels my friend.
