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.)

Loved every part of our trip! The staff was beyond nice and so fun! Not one time did our kiddos say they were bored which is a big deal for us LOL. Most definitely the highlight of our vacation so far

I was a bit disappointed. I told the captain this was my first time doing snorkeling, but instead of getting his crew to train me or just briefly instruct me, he said just follow your daughter. I got down the shallow water and had all sea water into my nose and eyes and it was actually another tourist who kindly and patiently showed me how it works. And there was no safety instructions or info about where we could find life jackets, instead they told us life jackets were not mandatory. There was some rough waves going over, but no one knows where to find life jackets. For those who know how to snorkel they may have had some fun. But out of over 50 people they only caught 2 star fish, and a couple small crabs. Maybe weather played a role.

Thank you for taking the time to leave us your feedback. I am truly sorry that we were not able to meet your expectations. This sounds nothing like the customer service/experience that we normally provide. We would like to make things right. Please reach out to management at (850)234-7377 or at [email protected] so that we can work with you to make it right.
