Scalloping trips

Scallop Season 2011 June 25-September 25.  First time since the 1980's  scallop season has been open after September 10th!  Book mid week, later in the season and you'll experience bigger scallops and less crowds.

Enjoy a half day of scalloping on the pristine grass flats of Homosassa. Capt Don can get you there and back quickly by staying off the beaten path in his custom built 24ft Carolina Skiff powered by 115hp Evinrude E-Tech .

All licenses are furnished. You will need a mask, snorkel and fins a cooler to take your catch home in and any food and beverages that you would like for the day.  Capt. Don will show you how to clean scallops, but part of the experience is cleaning your own catch.  For those that would like to have local entrepenuers "clean your catch" Capt. Don can steer you in the right direction.
