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.)

I can’t say enough about how fantastic this tour was. The catamaran was beautiful, extremely clean, and all the excursion equipment was well-maintained. They provided the snorkeling gear, paddle boards, and the catamaran even had a large slide that we were able to use. Once we stopped at Shell Island. The staff was so so friendly and saw to our every need. The weather was absolutely perfect! We had ample time on shell Island to explore and look for seashells. We even had enough time remaining by the time we got back to the catamaran for our teenagers go paddle boarding while we snorkeled . Saw lots of fish while snorkeling, and found a few gems to bring back. Also saw dolphins multiple times on the way out and back in. Each time they would slow down the catamaran so that we could stop and watch and get pictures. Overall an exceptional experience! We would highly recommend to people of all ages and will definitely do this trip again next time we are in town.

Really enjoyed the relaxing trip to Shell Island. Very small group but that was so much better. Saw a few dolphins. Captains were great. Couldn’t have asked for a better day. Recommend
