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.)

Fun time, but very disappointed about the drinks and snacks rule. We read the rules before going and did not bring our own drinks and snacks. Others brought their own and were told it was fine as long as there were no spills or messes that would make the deck slippery. We felt this was unfair. Also, did not get our picture. When done with the ride, we walked up to the photo stand to see our picture and it was not even there. Would have loved to have had it as others had theirs.

Steven, we appreciate you taking the time to leave us your feedback and are happy to hear that you had a fun time. As per our site we do allow sandwiches since we do not offer lunch-type food on the bar. We apologize for any confusion while reading our site. I am also sorry that you were not able to get your photo on that day. The photo booth is actually a separate business from us. Try to reach out to James who does the photos at (850)218-8756.

Crew was great, loved that there was shade and a bar on board. All ages had a good time. The preteens like the water slide. They also took a picture as you boarded, and the copy was only about 10 bucks
