Crystal River has well known scalloping fun, so let Southern Fried Charters help you catch it! Having logged many hours on these scallop grounds, Captain Chris is prepared to put you on the Scallops.

Families who love time together will be glad to know that kids are welcome aboard! Be sure to ask if child-sized life vests are available, otherwise you should bring your own. And, you can't go wrong with snacks to stay fueled throughout your trip!

Capt. Chris welcomes you aboard a 25' Ranger bay boat that can carry up to 8 passengers. It has everything you need for a productive day on the water. There's a toilet on board for your convenience.

Snorkeling gear is not included necessarily, some cheap gear is carried on the boat as spares for occasional guest gear malfunctions but it's not very good.

Before coming aboard, it will be necessary to buy a local fishing license. The Captains license covers 6 people. Check with FWC to review all requirements. This information is usually available online.

A few items to bring include sunblock (non-spray), bottled water, and sunglasses. Water is included, free of charge. Alcohol is allowed ( No glass bottles), don't get stupid please. Smoking's fine too. Just enjoy your time out.
