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.)

These types of experiences bring out the best in people, and that is what we found on the Island time sail! The crew was great. They all had a great sense of humor and they took a ribbing quite well! And we met some amazing people out to have a great time. We swam, and laughed, and had a couple of rum punches (and I accentuate the "punch" - quite yummy), We saw many dolphins - though they are quick little creatures and I got only a few pictures. It was so exciting to see them. We stopped for snorkeling and exploring and that was fun as well! All in all a wonderful time! Highly recommend!

We had the best time on this trip! We saw plenty of dolphins and found great sand dollars and sea shells on shell island! We loved this boat and the crew was very interactive and fun. We took our 3 year old and he really had a great time too! We will absolutely make this apart of our future trips! Very family friendly.

Everything was perfect. Perfect length of trip. Everything was exactly as promised. The staff and crew were friendly, competent and experienced. It was a very relaxing environment and a wonderful experience. We took our 6 year old and 3 year old. The kids had a great time. They of course loved seeing dolphins and swimming around the bay.
