Your boat rental will include life jackets, anchor, a dive flag (required if swimmers are in the water), safety/ survival equipment, bimini top and a map of the bay. Please come prepared with your fishing gear, coolers, snacks and sun screen.
Weather cancellations can be postponed to another day and are at the discretion of Scallop Cove.

Things to remember:
*Boats are to remain in St. Joseph Bay and are not allowed into the Gulf of Mexico or into the Inner Coastal Waterway (ICW). State park is currently close at the tip of the cape.
*Maximum passengers allowed is 11 people or 1500 pounds
*Watch for debris in the water, and always keep an eye on the water color to aid you in navigating the shallow edges of the bay
*We offer a wide variety of life jackets for everyone in your group. Please let us know if an infant or over-sized life jacket is needed
*Boats are to remain in St. Joseph Bay and are not allowed into the Gulf of Mexico or into the Inner Coastal Waterway (ICW).
*** If you end up in a situation where the boat has been stranded by changing tides, there is a $200 recovery fee for staff to come pick your party up from the stranded vessel and then recover the vessel at the next high tide. PLEASE keep 2' of water under the boat when you leave it to visit the beach. The anchor will hold the boat safely in shallow water, and you won't end up stuck. There is no reason to "beach" the boat.
**If you don't make it back by the time, it is a $25 fee for every 15 minutes you are late. We run on EASTERN.
Half day rentals are either from 9:30am-1:30pm or 2pm-6pm.
Full day rental is from 10am-6pm.
Reminder we are in the Eastern time zone.
Off season is from October 1 to last day in February.
