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.)

Praise the Lamb!! We hit the jackpot when we decided to book with Island Time! My daughter and I were wanting to do something a little different so I started looking and reading some reviews. Several other places had some good reviews but IT had a different vibe about it. I looked a little closer at the website for more information. I love that if the weather turns yucky, the captain makes the call to go or no. If no, they reschedule or refund. It was supposed to rain but we took the chance and trusted whatever call our captain would make. It sprinkled on us on the drive out so we were a little concerned. Captain Brian made the right call! We set sail, headed for Shell Island for some snorkeling! On the way we did see some dolphins! Beautiful creatures! The price was great and booking was easy, but the best part of the trip, other than sharing it with my daughter, was Captain Brian, Luke and Grace! Grace gives comical information and directions so pay attention! A great time was had! We definitely recommend!
