Fishing & Scalloping Combo
Two Adventures. One Incredible Day on the Gulf.
Why choose between fishing and scalloping when you can do both? With Gulf of America Fishing Charters, our Inshore Fishing & Scalloping Combo Trip lets you spend part of the day reeling in prized Gulf fish, and the other part snorkeling for fresh scallops in crystal-clear shallows.
Perfect for families, small groups, or anyone looking for a full Florida Gulf experience, this trip blends action-packed fishing with relaxing scallop hunting—creating memories (and meals) you won’t forget.
Inshore Fishing - What You’ll Catch
Our inshore waters are teeming with a wide variety of prized game fish. On your charter, you’ll have the opportunity to catch:
Redfish
Known for their copper-bronze color and powerful fight, redfish are a favorite among anglers and can often be spotted tailing in the shallows.
Speckled Trout
Also called spotted seatrout, these aggressive surface feeders are fun to catch and make for excellent table fare.
Snook
Prized for their acrobatic jumps and lightning-fast strikes, snook are a thrilling catch found around mangroves and estuaries.
Grouper
These hard-hitting bottom dwellers provide a strong fight and are known for their delicious, flaky meat.
Tarpon
Often called the “Silver King,” tarpon are famous for their size, strength, and spectacular leaps during the fight; typically targeted during the summer months.
Sheepshead
Recognized by their black stripes and human-like teeth, sheepshead are tricky bait thieves and a tasty catch often found near structure.
Black Drum
A close relative of the redfish, black drum grow large, put up a solid fight, and are known for the drumming sound they make when caught.
Scalloping
Scalloping is one of Florida’s favorite summer activities — a family-friendly mix of snorkeling, exploration, and fresh Gulf seafood. In shallow, clear water just 3 to 7 feet deep, you’ll drift over lush seagrass beds and spot bay scallops by their fan-shaped shells and bright blue eyes. All you need is a snorkel, mask, and mesh bag — we provide the gear and show you exactly how to collect them safely and easily.
Often described as “an underwater Easter egg hunt,” scalloping is perfect for kids, beginners, and anyone looking for a fun day on the water. After your trip, you’ll head home with fresh Gulf scallops — a sweet, tender delicacy you can cook yourself or have prepared by a local restaurant for a true “dock-to-dish” experience.
