Scallop Season is Here!
Get your reservation today!
The water is clear and we can see the scallops in the water, just waiting for you to pick them up. There are a few steps to take to get your limit.
STEP ONE: Hire the right charter. You could go ahead and take your own boat out and follow the other boats, but you are really just guessing. Take the work out of scalloping and let Captain Nita put you on the scallops.
STEP TWO: Reserve your date to scallop. Now is the time to get your reservation with the Captain who delivers.
STEP THREE: Enjoy your private charter. Gather all of your favorite friends and have a great day out on the Gulf of Mexico. If you have more than five friends, we will come up with another boat and you can take
all of your friends. Let's do this!
Welcome to
Fin Action Charters
Captain Nita Chester
To experience the ultimate enjoyment in natural Florida, book a charter with a US Coast Guard licensed captain – it’s the way to go! You will enjoy a day of boating, fishing, or scalloping.
The process is simple: after booking the charter with Fin Action Charters, come to the marina with your lunch and gear, and Captain Nita does the rest! She’s your private guide for the day. Captain Nita enjoys taking out novices and experts and welcomes families and children!
On recent commutes from fishing, scalloping and eco tours, Captain Nita has made a point to stop by many of the beautiful Florida springs and wants to share those experiences with you. See more about Spring-stops.

It's Really About The Boat
Her name is Saint Thomas
The boat is 2005 Action Craft Coastal Bay 24-foot with a 2023 225 horse power Four-stroke Yamaha, and it’s actually very nice. L&S Auto Trim, out of Gainesville, outfitted her with new upholstery and she’s looking good and super comfortable.
The high sides of the Action Craft makes her a pretty dry ride when the waves get a little rough. She’s able to get up and go when storms come up, like they do so often on the Gulf, making you feel very safe. On your next adventure, ask Captain Nita to tell you how she got her name “Saint Thomas,” truly a blessing. We are looking forward to taking you on a fishing trip or river cruise.
BTW - this boat can come to you! The trailer has been completely rebuilt from new axles, tires, fenders, lights, tie-downs and even the lift jack. Let us know where and what body of water you would like to explore – and we will try to make it happen.
