Ratings & Reviews Summary

He was highly attentive to our group's safety in the water, ensuring we were well-protected from boat traffic. Captain Rod was responsive to our needs and even moved us to different areas to enhance our experience. Overall, he was a top-notch captain, and we look forward to booking with Houseboat Charters again in the future!

We had a fantastic time scalloping and managed to collect some scallops. One of the best features of the boat is its covered setup with couches on both sides. When a storm suddenly blew in, we moved inside and enjoyed an early lunch before quickly returning to scalloping once the rain subsided. Captain was great company to talk to and ensured we had a wonderful time overall.

First-time scalloping for some and a second go for others! Captain Rod guided us to fantastic spots, providing all the gear we needed—more comfortable than what I have at home! As the weather turned against us later in the day, it was a relief to be inside the boat for the rainy ride back. Thanks to Captain Rod and Jake for an excellent day!
