Tried and True Outdoor Adventures is a Crystal River, Florida-based charter operator specializing in scalloping and inshore fishing trips. The company runs a range of guided marine experiences on the Gulf, offering a 4-hour Scalloping Charter that includes snorkeling and diving for scallops, a 7-hour Scalloping and Fishing trip that combines scallop hunting with offshore and backwater fishing, and half- or full-day Inshore Fishing Charters that explore Crystal River’s mangroves and backwaters.
