Made our 1st scalloping trip memorable. - We had an amazing time with Capt Todd! Very Nice and accommodating, the boat was perfect for scalloping, and was super comfortable. He was patient with us as first timers and we maximized our time in the water. If you’re looking for someone to take friends or family scalloping (experienced or novice), Capt Todd is your guy. We will be booking again!

Amazing Scallop Tour - We took the family out for a scalloping adventure with Capt Todd and it was amazing. He provides all the necessary equipment for the excursion. We also had Leah with us in the water who helped gather scallops to help us reach our limit. We can't wait to come back for next scallop season!
