WHY SCALLOPING IN CRYSTAL RIVER IS A MUST?
The waters of Crystal River are known for their abundance of bay scallops, thanks to the healthy grass beds covering the seafloor in just 3 to 9 feet of water. These shallow depths make it easy to dive down and scoop up these underwater treasures into your mesh bag.
The scalloping season in Crystal River runs from July 1st through September 24th, and it’s one of the most fun and recreational ways to explore Florida’s Gulf Coast. With warm water, sunny skies, and plenty of scallops to harvest, this is a summer activity that creates memories that will last.

We had so much fun scalloping with Captain Teddy. He was extremely patient with our young kids, making sure they got to find and dive for scallops, too. It was the best day! And the scallop ceviche we made with today’s catch was amazing! Highly recommend!
My wife and I had a wonderful day scalloping and fishing with Captain Teddy. He was able to put us on the fish and scallops. Teddy was very helpful and certainly knew what he was doing. I would highly recommend Captain Teddy!
