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 took the Island Time Dolphin and Snorkeling cruise Friday at 2pm and had a wonderful experience. Captain Heath was very friendly and informative of all information needed for the trip. Olivia and Grace were just amazing with everyone on board and with the kids. The kids got to slide off the back of the boat into the water and even got a chance to try the paddle boards. They even handed out hula hoops at the end for some extra fun on deck. We had such a great trip. And the kids cant wait to go back. We had such a great experience with the crew and the trip itself. would highly recommend these guys.

The nice guys that worked the boat, they were fine young gentlemen! We really enjoyed the drinks and smooth sailing! Snorkeling was amazing, we saw many schools of fish, jellyfish, and crabs! It was great!

The boat was clean and on time. The crew was super nice. They had 2 paddle boards for use and a slide. We found dolphins right away (lots of them) and then proceeded to shell island. There was literally nothing to see in the water. I wish the crew would have pointed us into a direction for that. There was also no rules about sharing the paddle boards. They told us to just knock off the people when we asked. They had limited snacks and some sodas and rum punch that were a reasonable price, only $5. They should have some more choices especially since they don’t allow you to bring anything on board. I also recommend some lids for the drinks. We walked around shell island a bit but nothing much to see except the dunes. The water was ok but rough on the gulf side. The slide was fun. We left and headed back but came back 20 min early. This was a longer cruise than some others so I was disappointed we just didn’t spend more time on the water. And they could have found a better spot for snorkeling. Overall, any sunny day in the water is a great day!
