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.)

Heath and hus crew were so nice and accommodating! Snorkeling was fun and we got to see a lot of dolphins. Worth every penny and I would come back again in a heartbeat!

Wow! This was an amazing cruise and the crew could not be beat! We were disappointed that we didn’t see but two dolphins however the awesome crew made up for that. Capt. Clay, Shane, Sarah, and Willow made this a highlight of our vacation. Capt. Clay treated my mom like a queen. She gets motion sickness and still chose to go on this tour because my niece and nephew wanted to go. Capt. Clay was constantly talking to mom and checking on her to make sure she was comfortable. He truly loves his job, and it shows in how well he treated everyone! We are so thankful that he was our captain and if we ever found ourselves back in the area we would definitely book a cruise with him again! Thank you for making this a trip we will definitely never forget! God Bless each of you!

We had an exceptional time! It was a little bit cold this time of year but we had a great experience with the staff and the excursion. Highly recommend! The guy even let us have the kids test out driving the boat. Super cool. 30/10 recommend! We saw so many dolphins and cool fish during snorkeling.
