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.)

My husband & I took our 3 granddaughters on this excursion in Panama City Beach. We are both in our 60's & the girls are 10, 16, & 21. They all said this was their favorite part of their vacation. We saw dolphins, large fish, sea turtles & had a great time snorkeling on Shell Island. We felt very safe & it was a very relaxing trip.

This tour is lovely! We had a wonderful time seeing dolphins and snorkeling at shell island. They parked us near the turtle grass to explore the local wildlife. Our captain and team were FABULOUS! A wonderful and relaxed experience. Worth every penny and very affordable for the experience you get. Lots of families on board, but two mid twenties single gals still really enjoyed it! Very roomy on board, too.
