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 had great fun. We saw lots of dolphins, including a couple leaping very high in the large wake of the Sea Screamer boat. We docked for an hour at Shell Island at a spot that was a three-minute walk to the Gulf, allowing us to explore both. The catamaran was clean and comfortable. In addition to the large deck, the catamaran has many shaded seats. It also has a fun slide off the back, which we enjoyed while docked. No regrets at all. Well worth it.
