Animal Encounter Crystal River

Scallop from Ozello! Closer to the scallop ground than Crystal River or Homosassa!


Set out on your adventure aboard our luxury pontoon from Ozello. Closer to the scalloping grounds with less boat traffic means more time in the water! Our Captains will guide you to your underwater treasure hunt. All of our Captains are United States Coast Guard licensed and are experienced boaters with an eye for spying wildlife in the air and in the water.
This tour is four hours total, giving you 2.5 hours in the water for ample bounty. Scallop cleaning lessons are provided, or local cleaning companies will clean for approximately $6 per gallon (prices are subject to change without notice).
Backwater Fins Restaurant is across the street from the marina and will cook your catch! Rounding out your perfect scallop adventure!
