Scalloping
Season 2012
Scallop Charters
leave Crystal River 7:00 AM Daily
July 1, 2012 -
September 10, 2012
Join River Ventures on a scalloping adventure suitable for the whole family.
We will board our boats at 7:00 AM to begin our journey down the scenic Crystal
River to the prime scalloping grounds found in the shallow water grass flats of
the Gulf of Mexico. Our scalloping charters along the unspoiled shores of
Crystal River and Homosassa provide an adventure to scallop fishers of all ages.
The 2012 scallop season will open on July 1st and will run through
September 10th. Our scalloping adventures are part snorkeling experience and
part treasure hunting as you seek out those scrumptious scallops nestled in the
grass of our clear Gulf waters. While snorkeling along the surface searching for
your scallops, you will be amazed at the beautiful sights; the abundance of
undisturbed marine life, aquatic plant life, sea sponges, and coral that add up
to an adventurous and unforgettable day suitable for all ages. If you can swim,
you can scallop! Fun for the entire family!
The prime scalloping grounds off of Citrus County offer crystal clear water.
We find the Scallops in the shallow water, most of the time in less than 5 feet
making this a suitable activity for both adults and children. Because of the
abundance of scallops in our waters, Citrus County has become a prime-scalloping
destination along the nature coast. If you are looking for a fun and adventurous
activity that is suitable for the entire family then look no further. Join us on
one of our guided scalloping charters today.
River Ventures scalloping charters leave Crystal River at 7:00 AM, and return
to the docks at around 2:00 PM, daily throughout the scallop season. Our

sandwiches if you desire, we will provide the rest.
