The Islander Private Charter

Your Boat. Your Adventure. Your Way.

Discover the ultimate private charter in Panama City Beach aboard The Islander, one of the area’s largest and most versatile private charter boats. Whether you’re planning a birthday celebration, family reunion, corporate outing, bachelor or bachelorette party, client entertainment event, or simply a fun day on the water with friends, The Islander offers a fully customizable boating experience designed around your group.

With space for up to 49 passengers, a professional USCG-licensed captain, dedicated crew member, fully stocked onboard bar, and direct access to the stunning waters of Shell Island, The Islander is much more than a typical boat rental. It’s a private floating venue where you can relax, celebrate, explore, and create unforgettable memories along Florida’s Emerald Coast.

Why Rent Multiple Boats?

Keep Everyone Together

One of the biggest challenges for large groups visiting Panama City Beach is finding enough space on a single vessel. Families, wedding parties, corporate groups, and vacationers often end up splitting across multiple boats, making it difficult to stay connected and enjoy the experience together.

With The Islander private charter, everyone stays on one spacious boat. There’s no need to coordinate multiple captains, separate itineraries, or different departure times. Your entire group can socialize, celebrate, and enjoy the day together while our experienced crew handles all the details. One boat, one crew, and one unforgettable adventure on the water.

Explore Shell Island

Swim, Snorkel & Relax

A highlight of every Shell Island private charter is the opportunity to visit one of Florida’s most beautiful undeveloped barrier islands. Known for its white-sand beaches, emerald-green waters, and abundant marine life, Shell Island offers the perfect setting for relaxation and adventure.

The Islander can anchor close to shore, providing easy access to the beach and shallow waters for guests of all ages. Spend your day swimming, snorkeling, shelling, paddle boarding, floating in crystal-clear water, exploring the shoreline, or searching for dolphins and other marine life. Multiple swim ladders make entering and exiting the water safe and convenient, allowing everyone to enjoy the experience comfortably.

Snorkel Equipment Included

Every private charter includes complimentary snorkel equipment, giving guests the opportunity to explore the underwater beauty surrounding Shell Island. Discover tropical fish, unique shells, and local marine life while enjoying some of the clearest waters found anywhere along the Emerald Coast.

For guests looking to venture even farther, paddle boards are also available, providing a fun and relaxing way to explore the shoreline and surrounding waters.
