About Your Trip

Families flock to Florida every summer to snorkel for scallops, harvesting these tasty treats in bunches. The waters of coastal Steinhatchee are blessed with impeccable salinity, temperature, and sediment levels for bay scallops, creating the perfect storm for summer scalloping. Join the experienced Captain Melissa on the grass flats for an exciting Easter egg hunt of the aquatic variety! She will provide you with collection bags, safety gear, and most importantly a valid fishing license. Due to sanitation reasons please bring snorkel, mask and fins.

Captain Melissa’s 22’ Carolina Skiff comes equipped with a step-ladder to make the glassy water easily accessible. The vessel fits up to 6 guests on this adventure, which should be a blast. All you need to bring is sunscreen, weather-appropriate clothing, snacks, drinks, towels, mask, fins, snorkel and your favorite fishing hat. You’re sure to have a great time snorkeling among the grass!

Each trip’s price is set by the guide and factors in all of their costs. A big determinant of cost is often the type of boat and associated fuel costs, but other guide costs include leases, marina / slip fees, bait costs, and the cost to provide and maintain all of the gear you’ll need on your trip.

Once you book the trip, we will connect you directly with the guide to go over any additional details. In the meantime, our team is always available to answer your questions via email, text, chat, or call!
