Steinhatchee Scalloping

If you like the idea of egg hunts or diving for sunken treasure, you will love Steinhatchee scalloping. With just a mask, snorkel and fins you, too, can jump in and experience the adventure of diving for scallops. You will float along the surface quietly, patiently, over a sand bar in the Gulf of Mexico, and take in the wonderful world of various fishes, plants and coral. Then suddenly you will see one. A scallop! Take a deep breath, dive down and grab it before someone else does! Be sure to look close around and you just might see more. Remember, scallop beds are located mostly in shallow water and may only be harvested by hand or net. Be sure to stay at the Ideal Motel and Marina home of Ideal Marine Supply. You can take a Scallop charter from the new docks or use your own boat. Charter fishing captains are also available with Captain Mark Brady one of the best guides in Florida. To Scallop in Florida each person is required to have a fishing license. However by going with a Licensed and Insured Captain, the captain provides all license, so you do won't need one. All scallop trips are $400 up to 6 people. Contact Capt. Mark 352-210-6972 Steinhatchee Scalloping Charters Steinhatchee Scalloping Steinhatchee Fishing Charters
