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.)

Hi Joan, we appreciate you taking the time to leave us your feedback. Customer feedback is important to us so that we can better our experience for future guests! I'm glad that you enjoyed the cruise and crew but sorry to hear that you do not agree with our cancellation/refund policy. It appears as though we were missing multiple people from your reservation that morning. With sufficient notice we would have happily refunded everyone in your group who did not show up. The trip was in fact sold out for the entire day but we have no problem refunding you for the 1 child that was sick. Please contact the office at (850)234-7377 so we can work to rectify this problem. Thanks!

Enjoyed the catamaran and dolphin sighting, but snorkeling? Come on. There was no snorkeling. There was wading in knee deep water.
