Great Time - Captain Todd and first mate Heidi made our scaloppine adventure a wonderful time. The scallops were plentiful. They knew right where to take us to get our limit. We will be booking with them every time we go. We had two couples everyone thoroughly enjoy this trip. Captain Todd is extremely knowledgeable and safe and Heidi is the scallop queen.

Family Fun at Its Best — Scalloping with Captain Todd - ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We had an absolutely incredible time out on the water with Captain Todd! Our family of five (including three kids ages 10 and 11) went scalloping on Crystal River, and we couldn’t have had more fun. The boat was spotless, super comfortable, and probably one of the fastest on the bay! Captain Todd knew exactly where to go — he put us right on the best scalloping spots. On top of that, he’s a great guy, easy to talk to, and clearly one of the most experienced captains out there. Highly recommend if you’re looking for an unforgettable day on the water!

Fun day on the water! - It was a beautiful day! Weather was perfect and our captain Todd and his wife took amazing care of us. The scallops were plentiful and we found quite a few. This was our first time scalloping. It was very busy on the water but we didn’t notice much once we got to our spot. They did a great job of putting us in a perfect place and kept an eye on us the whole time.

Great scalloping adventure! - Great trip with Captain Todd and Heidi on their well equipped (and very well powered!) tri-toon. They have the local knowledge needed to put us first timers on great spots. Dinner that night was so yummy! Highly recommend, will go again.
