7 Hour Private Scalloping Package in Mangrove Point
Overview
Our captains have been scalloping and fishing the waters of the gulf of Mexico for a combined 40+ years. This means we have the knowledge (and GPS locations) to ensure a successful day on the water.
Safety is paramount, so your guided charter includes an in-water guide to help you start "finding" your catch as well as a USCG certified Master Captain aboard your vessel at all times. This charter is 7-hours & includes a stop at one of our local springs so you can wash the salt off while we shuck your catch!
We also provide bottled water and deluxe seating along with all gear. You bring your own selection of other beverages and food and get ready for lots of family fun!
