Amazing time

3/4 Day Trip – Scalloping Charter5 adults2 children

This was a great experience. I chose this charter because I wanted to make sure my group had a clear pace to get out of the sun. The boat was perfect. Had plenty of room for the 5 of us and the fact that you had shade when you weren’t in the water was great. We did catch some scallops. We didn’t limit out but that was because this was my parties first time doing it and it took some time for them to figure things out. We definitely had enough for a few dinners, though. I have to say, though, the best part of this charter was the captain. I’ve been on plenty of charters before and captain Rod is by far the most patient and nicest captain I e gone with. Out of the five in the party I was the o ly one that have ever snorkeled. He took his time and helped me adjust all the equipment and then gave a couple of them snorkeling lessons while I worked with the others. In my opinion he went above and beyond making us feel comfortable and he sincerely wanted to make sure we had a great trip. Thank you Captain Rod for an experience that we will never forget and we will definitely be back

    Our first time scallopping!

    Half Day Charter • 6 adults

    Captian Rod was patient and gentle with our young ones and it was a great trip! Rod is very kind! It was nice having a boat with a roof for shade and a bathroom just in case! What a beautiful day on the water! I wasnt sure if my wife and kids would take to it, but they really enjoyed it! So much better than just amusement oarks and shopping! The water was perfect and the thrill of the hunt is not to be denied! We saw 5 bald eagles, dolphins, a puffer fish, sheephead, pinfish and caught plenty of scallops for being newbies! It was super safe and fun! Thanks again Captain Rod!!!

    Amazing time with Captain Rod

    Half Day Charter • 6 adults

    We had a great time. We drove up for a half-day charter, and it was the perfect amount of time. Rod knew exactly where to take us, and we caught a ton of scallops. Definitely recommend him for a charter.
