    great day scalloping

    Half Day Trip – Scalloping - 1:00 PM4 adults2 children

    We had such a great time with Captain Judge and his mate! They were both incredibly knowledgeable and made the day so much fun. His mate even got in the water with our boys, teaching them how to spot scallops and all the little tricks to finding them. Thanks to their help, we came home with a huge dinner's worth of scallops! Captain Judge was also full of cool local history. As a fifth-generation Floridian ourselves, we especially enjoyed hearing his stories and appreciated his knowledge and love for the area. We couldn't have asked for a better day on the water. Highly recommend!

    Amazing time Scalloping

    Half Day Trip – Scalloping5 adults

    The captain Judge and mate Josh were amazing. They were extremely responsive in returning messages quickly, had us completely prepared for the trip and were amazing hosts and guides once we were on board . It was also a big plus that the entire boat was covered by a bimini providing a lot of sun protection. I would highly recommend this crew!

    what an experience

    Half Day Trip – Scalloping6 adults

    Didnt realize how fun this scallop snorkeling/diving adventure would be! If you are competitive, like eye spy, or just like being on the water this is the trip for you! Huge thank you to captain and his helping hand (who also got quite a bag load of scallops hereself!)! Professional and put us right on top of them. Definitely reccomend and would come back to do it again!

    Amazing Trip & Hosts

    Half Day Trip – Scalloping3 adults1 child

    Me, my wife and our 14 yr old daughter went on a scalloping trip. Judge and Gabby are the best! Highly recommend them to anyone! They explained everything thoroughly and gave plenty of tips which helped us accomplish the gathering of a 5 gallon bucket full!!! Couldnt be happier and more full!!! Took the scallops to be cooked up and WOW! They were amazing too!! Great Day!!

    SO many scallops!

    Half Day Trip – Scalloping - 1:00 PM4 adults1 child

    We had the BEST time. Captain Judge and Josh were SO much fun! We were put on the perfect place to gather SO many scallops. They gave great advice, were personable and hillarious! We walked away with dinner, family memories and a new skill! (learned how to clean them!) highly recommend.

    Response from Captain

    It was an awesome trip! So glad you guys were able to come out and get your limit of scallops! Truly a pleasure having you all out and hope to see you again!
