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.)

This was a fantastic guided cruise. Great vessel. Excellent crew—Heath, Sarah, and Olivia were great and made it such a fun experience. We saw many dolphins. We snorkeled. We explored shell island. We paddle boarded and even had a manatee come near our group. They had drinks, snacks, music, and even took photos. If you are looking to do one of these tours, this is the place!

The crew that took us out on the boat were absolutely amazing. I would highly recommend this day trip for the entire family. We had fun partaking of the rum punch and did a little dancing on the boat. It was a fabulous day and would most definitely do it again.
