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.)

Absolutely the best excursion we have been on. And we've been on many. The crew is incredible. Friendly and very interactive. The boat is open and easy to walk around. Dolphins were amazing, were all around us. Went to She'll Island. So easy to get off and on boat to snorkel and walk the beach. They sell Rum Punch that was delicious and the beers are extremely reasonably priced. Played great music and even had everyone dancing on the deck..We had a group of 7 and it was well worth the price for the experience. Everyone came off the boat happy and with stories to share.

The shock of hitting the water off the slide!! The water was a brrr 65* it was expected to be cold as it’s just spring time. How fun 🤩!! The whole family enjoyed the sailing experience and would definitely do it again. Think everyone got some shells for their collection! The crew were great too! They know what they’re doing.
