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 had a blast getting out on the water and exploring shell island. The kids loved the slide and snorkeling and me and the hubby loved the boat ride and hanging out on the beach. We didn't see any dolphins but it was a great time.

We had such a great time, we saw a few dolphins swimming but the part my family enjoyed the most was the snorkeling and finding hermit crabs out by shell island. We sailed in beautiful weather and it was a smooth sail both ways for anyone nervous of seasickness, none of us experienced any. Luke was a great representation of Island Time and of Florida, he was so personable and lovely to speak with. Thank you also to the bartender and the captain who also did an awesome job! I would highly recommend this excursion to anyone in the area.
