We experienced an amazing scalloping trip with Captain Justin! From beginning to end, he ensured the journey was safe, enjoyable, and stress-free. He quickly led us to the best spots, where we were gathering scallops in no time. Justin was incredibly considerate and patient, teaching us the proper techniques and making sure everyone felt at ease in the water. His expertise and guidance made the day truly memorable. If you're seeking a captain who genuinely cares and makes the adventure fun, Justin is the perfect choice. We highly recommend him! Thanks for an unforgettable day, mate!
Our group of four had a fantastic outing! Justin was knowledgeable, passionate, and incredibly patient with us beginners. Even under challenging conditions, we had a great fishing experience with him. Would definitely book with Justin again. – Brad
We had a blast with Justin! He’s a wonderful captain and even took care of cleaning the scallops we collected! We’re looking forward to coming back. Thank you! Five stars!
Justin was an excellent captain. The boat was spotless, he was very accommodating, and the experience was top-notch!
Nick was another exceptional captain for our trip. He was approachable, well-versed in coastal navigation, and very knowledgeable about fish. We went scalloping, but I’m sure his fishing trips are just as fantastic. This was my girlfriend’s first time snorkeling, and Nick made sure she was comfortable throughout the entire experience. Even though we visited during a quieter scalloping season, Nick still ensured the trip was a memorable adventure.
