Boat Cruises in Panama City Beach Florida

Let our guides take you and your family on a Panama City boat cruise to Shell Island, and you'll really have an attraction to talk about after your vacation! Not to mention, all the pictures you'll have of your family snorkeling with wild dolphins at Shell Island (Panama City Island)! Shell Island boat cruises in Panama City Beach are a new type of tour. For years we have been offering wave runner tours, but now your family can enjoy a tour from the comfort of a boat with a personal tour guide to do all the driving!

Snorkeling on Boat Cruises

On our new Panama City boat cruises, your family can swim with dolphins and experience a snorkeling adventure at Shell Island! We only take small groups of people per boat, but if you have a large group we can take several boats! That makes our new boat cruise in Panama City, a personal and an accommodating attraction! Even if you want to rent a boat in Panama City, let our tour guides take you first. When your trip is over, you'll know the area like a local, and will be able to cruise the Coast of Shell Island without a map, no problem!

You can relax on our boat cruises in Panama City Beach, and feel the sunshine and wind as our tour guide takes you through Grand Lagoon, into St. Andrew's Bay and into the Gulf of Mexico. All the while, you'll be in search of blue bottle-nose dolphins! Through-out your boat cruise, the captain will educate you and your friends about the surrounding Bay area, and the local marine life. Although this area is home to one of the world's largest concentrations of bottle-nosed dolphins, we never know from day to day where they will be found. So, part of the fun is the unknown of what you will see during your trip. When you encounter blue dolphins, if you've got your waterproof camera ready, jump overboard and experience the attraction and adventure of swimming with dolphins. When it’s time to go, the dolphins may even swim alongside the boat as your captain makes his way to Shell Island.
