    Sunset dolphin cruise.
    Richard B.

    Went on a sunset dolphin cruise and seen tons. Very friendly staff and the best part is they are about 1/2 the price of others in the area for the same cruise.

    My fiancé and I were visiting PCB for the first time from the west coast. I had never even seen a dolphin outside of an aquarium before, so getting to see so many and to swim right alongside them was absolute magic.The price is a steal for what you get. Our tour guide Dave was incredible. He gave us great information about the area, history, and knew how to direct us to the best dolphin encounters. You can tell he really does love his job. So grateful for this opportunity and Dave!

    Took dolphin tour this morning with Captain Alex. Laid back and relaxing. He is a very knowledgeable guide that made the tour amazing! Saw lots of sharks, dolphins and snorkeled with lots of sand dollars to take home. We will be back our next time in PCB and will highly recommend this tour to our friends and family vacationing here! Great job!

    Dolphins and snorkeling
    Jennifer B.

    Awesome Captain and a fun time. Saw lots of dolphins on our dolphin tour (maybe 7?) and had fun snorkeling near Shell Island. They provided the snorkeling gear and the price was great. I can't wait to take my kids back next summer. We will be using this company again for sure.

    My family and I had a wonderful and unforgettable tour. Captain Dave was great and very knowledgeable and informative. We had the last tour (6pm) and the sunset was phenomenal. We were able to see about maybe be up to 7-10 dolphins,even a baby dolphin. Well recommended!

    It was absolutely the most magical day for me! Captain Tim was Amazing and very much made our trip as special as I was hoping for!! The water was to rough for us to actually get out an swim with the dolphins but we did get to adventure around by shell island so I will be back in a month or two for another trip!! THANK YOU!!

    Pontoon rental in October. The boat was in great shape
    Brandon S.

    We rented a Pontoon from them to see shell island and the service and Pontoon was excellent. I called and was greated by a friendly voice who took our reservation. Upon arrival you can purchase ice, snorkeling gear and a few other items. The boat we received was fairly new and well worth the $180 for the whole days use. If you haven't never been to shell island it something you must do when in PCB

    Seriously one of thebest experiences ever!!! Loganwas THE best guide!!! He was soooo accomodating and so down to earth-he really made this the experience of a lifetime! We wanted to spend more time with the dolphins than on the island and Logan was so accomodating about it all. He gave us a more time than the 2 hours intended for the tour. We had a fab time and would love come back. Worth the money. Hope they dont ever increase their prices because their rates is what made us consider them to begin with. Must must do-highly recommend!

    Had an amazing time on our boat trip. It was a nice boat and the captain was very friendly (I'm horrible with names but I believe it was Clay) . The scenery was gorgeous and two hours was a great length of time. We went to a wonderful spot and snorkeled while looking for sand dollars. We will definitely go back next year on our next PCB trip!

    We had an awesome dolphin tour a few weeks ago! I spoke to Melissa on the phone and she was very friendly and informative. Mitch was our captain and he was great!! He was very knowledgeable about the area and definitely made the tour fun. It was overcast the day we went and it turned out great! We saw a ton of dolphins and tried repeatedly to get in and swim with them. We even anchored near an island to get out and swim. Overall a fabulous day and definitely worth the money paid! I would highly recommend this tour! Make sure to ask for Mitch as your captain!

    Karen M.

    Amazing is all I can say. BEAUTIFUL ocean view, we saw quiet a few dolphins and came close to touching one . Tim was awesome very kind and he was very familiar with his surroundings. We will definitely be coming back next year with Tim

    This was the highlight of our vacation to Panama City Beach! My husband and I have 6 & 7 year old girls and the squealed with excitement when we told them what we were doing for the day! We opted for a private boat tour with just us and the captain and he was very generous and patient with us and especially our daughters..he made sure we found Dolphins and gave us specific instructions when to jump in the water as they were coming towards us! We did this about 4 times and the Dolphins came right to us each time! My 6 year old had a baby dolphin come up to her and nudge her feet and hasn't stopped talking about yet. Once we finished our swim with the Dolphins captain took us to shell island dropped anchor and allowed us to explore the island and the girls could snorkel. I would recommend this to any one visiting with small kids!!

    Captain Dave was so fun! We so enjoyed our dolphin tour, saw many dolphins, and even got to enjoy some time on shell island. Captain Dave was so friendly, kind, and very informative! Thank you! We will be back!

    One of many dolphins!

    See all

    My husband and I took the sunset cruise on the Grand-mere. My hubs is handicapped, walks with a…read morestrained gait with a cane. While the boat is at the end of the pier, it was not a ridiculously long walk for him. We boarded via a ramp with handrails, so that was safe and easy. The mates on the cruise were helpful and it was fun to be able to move freely around the vessel. They offered a snack bar with cocktails and drinks were very reasonably priced, and good. The sunset cruise goes out to the shell island, but does not dock there. We idled around the area in hopes of seeing dolphins and we were not disappointed. There was a pod that was showing off for the people on 3 boats in the area. Great fun! Update: We went back for the Shell Island tour today. Reiterate how helpful, friendly, and professional everyone was.... Both tours!

    Super friendly staff, that's the five stars there. Our tour wasn't super big, about 33 though they…read morecan fit over 100. The crew came around and introduced themselves and asked if we needed anything during the tour to let them know. They also have on-board snacks, drinks and a restroom. The tour starts at Papa Joe's which has food trucks, a little store, and even a pickleball court. The ship left at 1:30 and was about a 45-minute journey to Shell Island. I was a little disappointed with the Island itself. The shells were all broken and going out to see and look for shells the water wasn't as clear as other Florida beaches. I saw a stingray which was really cool but also made me hesitant to go too far in the water, also saw some crabs too and didn't want to get pinched. After an hour on the Island, we went to go see some dolphins - there were tons. You will define see dolphins on this tour. After doing a few circles to make sure everyone on the boat saw them, we started heading back. It was after this the crew went around again to ask if anyone was feeling at all seasick because of the turning. Overall the tour was really great. I don't thinknid recommend Shell Island itself but doing the dolphin tour would be worth the visit.
