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.)

We ride with island time every year but yesterday's experience was not the same... I prebooked the cruise but then the weather changed and was calling for rain. They didn't cancel the cruise and it was too late for refund so we went bc we already paid .. soon as we got the shell island it started pouring so we had to leave, we were then all placed at the bottom of the boat to haul ass back while it poured . It was freezing and uncomfortable ride back.. once we got back nothing was offered like a discount, or another tour at discount price..not even free picture we took before boarding so basically we wasted 150$ to be soaked, cramped, freezing, and didn't get the normal island time experience

We saw quite a few dolphins up close! We loved the whole trip. Even on the way back when a storm rolled in and it started raining, we all got under the canopy of the boat and had even more fun!! We will definitely do this again!
