Snorkeling on Island Time is an unforgettable experience. The calm, warm waters of the gulf are perfect for both beginners and experienced snorkelers. Take an adventure searching through the vibrant marine life near Shell Island. Around Shell Island you may find starfish, seashells, and all different fish.
Our knowledgeable crew will guide you through the fun and interesting sights while answering any questions you may have.
After about an hour of snorkeling bliss at Shell Island, we’ll take a leisurely sailing cruise out to the Gulf of Mexico to look for wild dolphins! (Please read dolphin watching disclaimer below). We always hope the conditions will line up just right and it’s pretty rare not to see dolphins, but the itinerary is based on the weather and conditions for your safety and enjoyment. The cruise back to the dock is a fun sailing party at Panama City Beach with upbeat music, games and dancing.
We’re known for our famous “Rum Punch,” but we also have a stocked bar with beer and wine, and all of our snacks and non-alcoholic drinks are just $2.00. Restrooms are available onboard. Join our experienced captain and crew for your Island Time snorkeling and sailing adventure in paradise.
