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.)

Great trip, highly recommend this company. Learned how to paddle board for the first time. The captain and his crew really do a great job.

The slide was fun for our 6 & 4 year old boys. The snorkeling was also a hit. The captain letting the boys steer was definitely an awesome core memory!! So much fun!

My family had a wonderful time on this adventure. The captain took additional time to linger when he thought that there may be a potential to see dolphins and because he did, the passengers were not disappointed. He went above and beyond to ensure that everyone had a great time and the most out of the excursion. Christian and I believe Emma was the names of the other crew members who were friendly, professional, and fun. We will be back!
