HOMOSASSA SCALLOPING SEASON 2021 UPDATE

The 2021 season is upon us and the scallops are plentiful! We have seen more scallops the first week than we did almost all of the 2020 season. We are back in our usual 3-6 feet of water this year as well so the snorkeling is much more enjoyable. This year we have also decided to add afternoon scalloping charters for those of you that don't want to get up super early. For bookings you can either check out the calendar above to book online or you can call Captain Carey directly @ (352) 361-0731.

Homosassa Scalloping

PictureThe limit of scallops is 2 gallons per person per day and not more than 10 gallons per boat per day.
 
​This destination nestled within Citrus County is world renowned for the scalloping season. Our Homosassa scalloping captains are some of the best at hunting down these treasures. Scallops settle themselves in the grass beds of the Homosassa River every summer and spawn. After the spawning process scallop hunters take to the water to fill up on these delicacies of this shallow water Homosassa fishery. All you need is a mask, snorkel, and fins to jump in the crystal clear sea-grass flats at a water depth of 3 to 6 feet and experience the adventure of diving for scallops. This is a vacation favorite for families and friends. Call Captain Carey @ 352-361-0731 for Homosassa scalloping information.
