They kick things off with a water gun fight, which the kids loved--but heads up, they will get wet! I wish I had brought a dry sweatshirt to throw on after. But it was ok. Also, wear grippy shoes because that deck gets slick fast...kids were slipping everywhere lol. This isn't a quiet, scenic sunset cruise--if that's what you're after, this ain't it. Half the time I forgot we were even on a boat because it's nonstop pirate chaos (in a good way). We did spot dolphins in the distance which was a nice bonus.

The booking and check in process was very easy, and the staff was very friendly and helpful.

Throughout our time he also gave us great suggestions in the area and continued to accommodate any of our requests. They had several floating devices for all of us to use which we took full advantage of. We all had a great time and would definitely recommend to book if you are visiting and looking for a fun activity to do!

Disappointing Experience - Definitely Not Worth the Money I…read morehad a connecting flight with about two hours to spare and was hungry, so I decided to stop here and grab something to eat. Unfortunately, this was not a good experience, and I wouldn't eat here again. I ordered the fish and chips, which I was told was a popular item. When my plate arrived, I was honestly caught off guard. The fish was shaped like an entire fish, which was not at all what I was expecting. I'm used to fish and chips being served as battered, finger-shaped pieces of fish, so the presentation was a little off-putting to me. Unfortunately, the food didn't get any better from there. The fish had practically no flavor, the tartar sauce wasn't good, and the overall presentation just wasn't appetizing. The fries were mediocre at best, and the sweet tea was just okay. I'll give credit where it's due: the service was good. However, good service can only go so far when the food doesn't deliver. I paid around $30 for my meal, and honestly, it was nowhere near worth that price. I understand airport restaurants tend to be more expensive, but I still expect the food to be enjoyable, especially at that price point. Overall, this was a disappointing stop during my layover. I wouldn't spend my money here again, and I definitely wouldn't recommend the fish and chips.

A nice little sail out to the good dolphin-watching spot, then the other Sea Screamer showed up...they created this super cool wave they called "dragging." The dolphins all joined in and were surfing along on the wave, jumping and playing. Freaking fantastic voyage! Highly, highly recommend it. Highly. I got some videos of pelicans floating along on the breeze - man, those things are so amazing. I watch them on the Causeway all the time, but this was above and beyond. Heh, literally. And then came the battle. Water squirters and broadsides with the other Screamer...then Bo starting filling the soakers with ice water from the chest. Ha ha ha, I didn't mean to laugh, ma'am, but I bet that was freaking cold. If you're in Panama City Beach, don't miss this one, it's a keeper. And tell my friend, Kaysea, hi - she's giving out the tickets, but you couldn't miss her, anyway, she's a total babe. Love you, K!

My husband and I booked our Sea Screamer Dolphin Cruise for 12:15pm( it was raining earlier, but…read morehad finally cleared up). We liked that there were plenty of seats on the dock to sit in wait ( first come first serve for your group). When it was time to load, we got our picture taken (pictures are $10), and loaded on to the boat. We sat behind the food/ drinks area in the front row. Unfortunately, because of the weather we only saw 1 pod of dolphins and everyone ran to the side of the boat and we were not able to get a photo. We did enjoy the boat ride and learning the history of the area. The staff, captains, and everyone working on board had excellent customer service, they were entertaining and made the experience enjoyable. All of the food and drinks on board are under $5! So loved how affordable it was. I would say that this cruise was definitely for kids and families. They had a lot of kids activities and we were in the middle of all of it, which is fine- but I think that families should be aware of where most of the entertainment is or what sections to sit in and people who don't have kids can sit or elderly so they don't get run into. For the kids, each child gets a turn to steer the boat in the bay, we got to go to bird island ( and we're swarmed by birds- so if you don't like birds I would not do this cruise), they sell food for you to buy and the birds will eat it out of your hand. Then, the other boat pulled up next to ours and the kids hand a huge water gun fight and got soaked. We had to move out of the way. There are no towels on board so bring your own- but they drive fast after so you can dry off! Last, they caught a crab trap from the ocean they had put out and brought on 2 blue crabs and 1 spider crab, and all of the kids got to hold them. We also enjoyed the mix of music and that it wasn't too loud. If you go on the sea screamer and have kids sit by the snack and drink area under the covering behind the captain for the best experience. If you don't have kids or don't want to do the interactive stuff sit in the front or back.

They directed me to drive across the bridge. Only option was to buy everything which totaled over $125.00. Needless to say...a very expensive snorkel trip!

The boat was nice and spacious and we had a smooth ride all day. We saw lots of dolphins and even a huge fever of sting rays which was really amazing. Once you get closer to Crab Island the water turns emerald green and then crystal clear. It's absolutely gorgeous. We were thankful to have chosen an earlier time (9am-1pm) for our trip as the tide was high which apparently adds to the water clarity. I think they deserve 5 stars for: boat quality, boat amenities, ease of scheduling, their followup and follow through. I would definitely use them again.

All the staff was wonderful, you could tell they were happy to be there, and happy to help the guests out throughout the excursion and when we were docked too. It was a 3 hour boat ride, and I was looking for a 4 hour ride for us, but 3 hours was truly just enough so we can enjoy doing other things for our vacay.

This is the place to go for Pontoon rentals or Dolphin Tours! From the girls at the front desk who…read morebook the tours to the the guys who take you out on the boats, they are all extremely knowledgeable and helpful. We have come here a couple of times over the years and one thing that stays consistent is how friendly the staff is. This past trip we took out the Pontoon boats and didn't do the Dolphin Tour. They have upgraded and have new boats . . . they are AWESOME! We went out in the morning, which I always find to be the best time. There seems to be more marine life and the weather isn't so scorching in the morning. We hit up Shell Island before anyone else was out and there were stingrays and colorful fish swimming all around us. BRINGING A UNDERWATER CAMERA IS A MUST! You want to be able to take pictures of a the beautiful marine life but you especially want a camera incase you get to swim with a dolphin. If you are deciding between taking a Dolphin Tour or just taking out a Pontoon boat, their are a couple of things to consider. 1) With the Dolphin Tour you have a guide who will take you out to find dolphins. The guide captains the boat so you are able to kick back and relax a little more. Also, the guide is normally a local so if you are new to vacationing in Panama City they can usually tell you all the fun things to check out and great places to eat. 2) If you are comfortable driving the boat and Dolphins are less of a priority, then just rent the boat. I have rented pontoon boats every year with my family, for over 15 years, and 9/10 times we see dolphins on our own, but it is not a guarantee without a guide. When you rent a boat one of the guys will give you a map and help you outline your day. There are a couple of places you should hit up if you have kids; Shell Island and the place where you can find Sand Dollars. Pontooning has become a tradition on our summer vacation and this has become our place to go.
