Checked off a bucket list item: Scalloping with Captain Frank It is the experience of a lifetime

May 21, 2025

First time to Steinhatchee and to Scalloping. Frank is a great boat captain, knowledgeable, fun to go out with and seems to truly care that you have a great experience. I loved being able to go out of the creek instead of Steinhatchee river, it saved us a lot of time. Highly recommend his company!

May 21, 2025

What an amazing time with the Family. Frank is as good a captain as they come. He knows the area well and put us on the fish.

May 21, 2025

Captain Frank was wonderful and our family had a great time. Beautiful location. No on was catching too much that day, and we caught 2, so we were ahead of ever around us! We will absolutely be back. Hooting to do some scalloping with Captain Frank this summer!
