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.)

This was my first experience to have ever to go on one of these trips, the staff and captain were all so personable and easy to talk to. It was an experience I’d like to repeat next time I come to Panama and my daughter found a big starfish while snorkeling, returned safely back to the sea after touching it. Just a note for those that wear essential oils, leave it off, so fish won’t be followingand loving on you with their little teeth while snorkeling.

Staff were amazing. They interacted with the passengers the whole time. The drinks were really good and reasonably priced. We seen several different dolphins along the way. Snorkeling equipment was provided and had been cleaned and sanitized before hand. They also have a photographer who takes your pictures as you board the boat and copies of the photos are available once the tour is over and you unboard. I loved this experience. It was our first trip to Florida and our first time on a boat. I would highly recommend this to anyone.
