Shell Island Snorkel and Dolphin Catamaran Cruise with Island Time

Overview
The 3-Hr Shell Island Snorkel & Dolphin Cruise aboard the Island Time Sailing Catamaran is a great way to have fun in the sun and enjoy the best of what Panama City Beach has to offer! Cruise over to Shell Island where you and the whole family can snorkel to find exciting shells and sea life, swim up to the island to explore or paddle board around the boat. After about an hour you will depart the island to head out to the Gulf for sightseeing and dolphin watching and sailing! The cruise ends with contests and dancing. We offer 2 different catamarans for this trip. They are very similar, but have a few differences. The "Island Time" is equipped with a water slide and no over the water nets. While the "Island Time II" has over the water nets located in the front of the boat and no water slide.  (Please note: This tour departs from Panama City Beach, FL, which is about 3 hours East of Pensacola.)

In all the years we've come to PCB, we've never done one of these excursions. This one was fantastic & we will definitely make this an every-trip excursion from now on! Captain Heath & his crew were wonderful! The boat was very spacious, the cruise was perfectly smooth & he found the right spots to see the dolphins. The visit to Shell Island was great! My husband & kids tried out the snorkeling & paddle boards. We dug for crabs on the beach & just relaxed & enjoyed the time there. The return trip was just as smooth & fun. They had more than enough snacks & beverages for everyone. The crew was super friendly & made their way around to speak to everyone & interact with all the kiddos on board. I would definitely recommend this to anyone looking for a dolphin and/or Shell Island outing. We'll be back for more in the future!

We had a great trip with Captain Heath, Olivia and Grace! They made the trip enjoyable, fun and full of knowledge! We saw sea turtles, a ton of dolphins, and had a great time snorkeling at shell island.

The captain and crew were absolutely awesome and a joy to interact with. The sites were beautiful. We would highly recommend this trip for family and friends. The cost was very reasonable especially for all of the services that they provided
