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 great time!! We went in the morning and it was perfect. We saw plenty of dolphins. The snorkeling on shell island was so fun. The island is beautiful. The crew is amazing and very fun! The atmosphere they created made you feel like you were on an island. The rum punch is very good!! I would absolutely recommend this to anyone!

The crew was wonderful! The boat was clean and in great shape. Lots of great photo ops. Prices on the boat and for the group photo were reasonable. The water at Shell island was gorgeous and it was lovely to float and see the fish. Only ‘complaint’ was that it was a three hour tour and we were only in the water for an hour. We stopped for a while to see some dolphins, which was nice, but I would have liked more time to snorkel. Other than that NO complaints!!! Will definitely book with them again next time we are in the area.

Thank you for taking the time to leave us your feedback. We are happy that you chose Island Time and would love to have you again in the near future. So sorry if there was any confusion while booking. The cruise does advertise that we spend about an hour at the Island. Time sure does fly when you are having fun though. Thanks again!

I had a blast! I was traveling alone. Great Capt and crew. The part I liked best was when we anchored just off shore and swam from the boat. We all had snorkeling gear. Everyone on board was really enjoying it. We also saw a dolphin. But no pods. If I'm ever in the area again I'll go again!
