Snorkel Crystal River’s shallow grass beds on a 4.5-hour scalloping charter with gear, guidance, and a treasure hunt for kids.

About this tour

Explore Florida’s Nature Coast on a Crystal River scalloping charter, where clear shallows and seagrass beds make the search part of the fun. This 4.5-hour outing takes you by boat to waters about 3 to 8 feet deep, where you can snorkel and look for scallops.

Your captain and crew provide snorkel gear, ice, water, and a fishing license, and help newcomers get comfortable with snorkeling and scalloping. The boat ride is described as fast and comfortable, with a dry boat for the journey. Families can make the day extra memorable: children aboard can search for a hidden treasure chest. Bring a towel, sun hat, sunscreen, snacks, drinks, and clothes that can get dirty. The meeting point is 1 SW 1st Pl in Crystal River; look for boat 106. Scalloping season runs from July through September.

Spend time together on the water and discover the thrill of finding scallops in their natural habitat. Book your Crystal River scalloping charter for a hands-on summer adventure along the Nature Coast.

How this score is calculated

This score is based on one provider. GetYourGuide rates it 4.94 from 87 reviews. We place that rating among all GetYourGuide ratings and weight it by its review count. If the tour is found on another provider later, both ratings are combined.

How the score works and rating distribution in Crystal River
  • Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.
  • Listings on different providers are combined in proportion to their review counts.
  • Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
  • The result is shown from 0 to 10: this tour scores 9.0. Top 15% in Crystal River means it ranks in the top 15% of tours in Crystal River by this score.
