This trip requires a valid shellfish permit in order to take home bay scallops. For more information on obtaining an individual shellfish permit, visit the Town of Nantucket website: https://www.nantucket-ma.gov/2304/Shellfish-Permit. Each individual keeping scallops must have their own permit. A permit is not required for participants who are not keeping scallops.
The smallest pair of waders we have is an adult size 7. If you have a youth participant who wishes to attend the program, you must provide them with their own waders. An adult must register and accompany youth participants.
