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.)

Fantastic trip on the water. My boys and I had a blast. The crew was outstanding and really showed us a good time. They paused for us to view dolphins and provided clean snorkel gear for us to use.

This was our second time and it was as good as the first! Boat is clean, staff are very friendly and try to engage with passengers. Luke was knowledgeable when I asked about the military looking boats we passed by. Things to note: No spray sunscreen, drinks are reasonably priced about $1.50 for non-alcohol, definitely walk to the gulf side of Shell Island. The water (July 2021) is very brown from seaweed, but on the gulf side it is what you normally see here at PCB.
