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.)

Capt Heath, Gracie and Olivia were fantastic on Island Time! Shell island snorkeling was an amazing experience. My boys loved it. My fav part was seeing the dolphins so closely!

Loved getting to see the dolphins and the gorgeous water. My daughter enjoyed the paddle boards and I enjoyed the rum punch.

Captain Heath, Sarah, & Olivia provided great hospitality - all are gracious, warm, and go above and beyond to ensure fun and safety for all guests. We appreciated Heath piloting the catamaran to get up close to the dolphins and his narrative on their behavior. My reason for not providing a 5/5 stars is that the snorkeling experience was OK, neither good, nor great, relative to previous experiences in the Caribbean and Hawaii. That said, if I had no prior experience, it would have been good enough to incite me to do it again. The beach area we anchored had long gradual slope, lots of dry beach, so first-timers, little ones, those with limited mobility, will have access to this experience- it’s great in this aspect. If your prior goal is to enjoy a great sailing experience and dolphin viewing - hands down, go with Island Time, wonderful value at $52 and change.
