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.)

Amazing beautiful sailing and a great fun crew. Will be back! Had shopped around other ways to go to Shell Island. The Catamaran was definitely the best ride! Not as many people as the other tours and a smooth ride. Saw a large group if dolphins even a baby one, found star fish, shells, crabs and saw a sting ray. If you own your own snorkel mask with the built in snorkel bring it for better comfort.

We had a great time on this excursion. Great staff, very friendly (they even let my kids drive the boat) and we were lucky enough to see several dolphins! Only thing is I wish we had more time at Shell Island because the marine life there is so cool! We would do it again in a heartbeat!
