Preparing and booking

For scalloping, the operator supplies bottled water, ice, a cooler, license coverage and collection bags. Guests must bring a mask and snorkel plus fins or water shoes, along with snacks, personal drinks, a towel and sun protection.

Call or email Crystal to choose an outing and receive the departure instructions. Confirm group size, fish-cleaning arrangements for fishing trips, the deposit and cancellation policy. The website’s seasonal descriptions are general and should not be used as a current harvest calendar; ask which dates the captain is booking.
