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.)

We did not have a good time. This was a Snorkling tour and a stop at shell island. The area we snorkled in was terrible. We did not see 1 single fish. The island barely contained any shells. The trip back was Raining and 52 people were squished into one little indoor area. This was an excursion on our family vacation and laid over $200. Not at all what it was advertised to be. Snorkeling should be in an area where there are tropical fish and something to see. Highly disappointed.

Hi Jamie, our team is sad to hear that we did not fulfil your expectations. Unfortunately a storm was coming in the afternoon of your trip & that can affect the clarity of the water as well as the currents causing the shells to come onshore. We would love the opportunity to make things right! Please give our office a call at 850.588.8700 and ask to speak to a manager.

This tour was an incredible value and experience! It was the highlight of our time in PCB! The staff was personable and very accommodating. The catamaran provided a smooth sail. We loved Shell island! On the ride back we saw dolphins and sea turtles. Very enjoyable experience, would highly recommend!!
