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.)

While seeing dolphins is out of their control, it is advertised and it didn't seem like they made an effort to find them. It took one hr to get to shell island and one hour back. Once you got there you were on your own. The entire staff stayed on board with no help in finding where to see more sea creatures while snorkeling or shells. I was looking forward to trying paddle boarding but they said it was too windy yet you had to ask for a life vest. The staff Interacted on the way back with the kids but I didnt feel welcomed.

Annie, I'm sorry that you did not enjoy your cruise with us. This does not sound like the customer service/tour that we normally provide. We hope you can give us another try!
