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 so fun for our whole family. My SIL & I had kids from 19-5 and they all enjoyed themselves. We all loved the music and the crew was stellar! We found hermit crabs, sea snails & sand dollars. Others found a variety of Star fish. I recommended this to a friend visiting this week and I would absolutely go again. Great job to the crew who made the experience so fun. They were accommodating, pleasant and friendly and that’s hard to find these days. Thank you!

Very friendly crew! Our boys first snorkel experience and they really enjoyed themselves. Luke was a very personable crew member and we enjoyed talking to him about various things while sailing to the island. They had fun things for the passengers to do. Good experience and would recommend to anyone wanting to experience snorkeling for the first time.
