ISLAND TIME SAILING - Panama City Beach, FL

Vibes: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ - I found the recommendation off trip advisor for this tour randomly & only booked the day before (& during Memorial Day weekend) so our group of 4 maybe didn’t have high expectations. WOW! This crew brought the vibes. Captain Clay, Audra, & Avery were great! Not only were they fun & welcoming, but safe & accommodating! & we saw so many dolphins!!! 🐬

Accessibility: ⭐️⭐️⭐️ - this is tricky on my end. The booking clearly states “not wheelchair accessible” & I don’t think it would’ve worked for everyone. The bartender at the check-in hut was so sweet & anticipated my needs without me asking. She went out of her way to have a conversation with the crew & make sure I could safely board first. We used a different route to access the boat as the original one was unpaved with loose rocks. The crew constantly checked if everyone was comfortable & needed anything. I really felt considered the entire time. I never felt like a burden. The restroom on the boat was down some steps so I didn’t use it but if you’re able to ambulate with help, use this company. They were so so great, I cannot rave enough!

Island Time sunset and dolphin cruise was a highlight of our trip! The crew was absolutely fantastic!! They went above and beyond service expectations and made the ride truly special. The girls made sure every one got photos at sunset. They were so sweet and had such great attitudes, like they really loved helping all the guests out whatever it was they needed. We saw lots of dolphins! Sunset was perfect. Wine, beer, seltzers, snacks on board to purchase! It was a little chilly with the wind (April) so I would suggest bringing a sweatshirt/jacket for sure! And wear flats…my wedges were not the best shoe choice to walk around a rocking boat! It was a great time and we will definitely book Island Time next trip to PCB!!

It was our first time Sailing with Island Time, we went on a Shell Island Snorkeling excursion. The first hour we spent touring the Gulf and checking out dolphins, they were certainly everywhere.

We had plenty of time snorkeling, in a beautiful private cove with a bunch of other boats in the area. And then we went back out to the Gulf to check out more dolphins for the end of the trip.

It was a great sail and the crew was extremely friendly and accommodating.

Definitely try their famous rum punch.

We will definitely go on another snorkeling trip when we are back in PCB.

My husband and I were just there on our anniversary trip. This company does a great job. Well organized. Great captain and co captains. The dolphin tour part was so cool. The snack and drink bar was a nice touch also. We will be back for our family vacation. Thanks for the great experience.

My family and I had a wonderful time sailing with Island Time. Captain Heath, along with crew members Carter and Sarah were so great! They even wished our 16 year old happy birthday and got everyone on the boat to sing to him, which was a special treat. The cruise was literally smooth sailing. We got to see dolphins and a bonnethead shark. Shell Island had the most beautiful clear waters where we found sand dollars and other beautiful shells. On the boat, refreshments and snacks were offered at a reasonable price. Great music played over the speakers. They had hula hoops and temporary tattoos for the kids, as well as a slide for when we anchored. It was truly a great time! Thank you so much!

Highly recommend booking with them. My friend and I booked the shell island snorkel tour with them and it was the best day of our vacation! You spend about an hour in the boat getting to the island, the crew is friendly, accommodating and knowledgeable. The boat has shade and is well equipped with food and drinks for purchase with cash or card. The views are absolutely spectacular and the crew makes sure to guide you on the way there while stopping at the best spots for dolphin viewing. Then you stop at shell island where they let you hangout for another hour with the use of snorkel gear and paddle boards and the boat has either stairs or a slide to get into the water with. Tons of fun and amazing views! Then you make your way back. I wish I took more pictures but I was having way too much fun. Can not beat this for the price, it was absolutely amazing! Do not hesitate to book.

Was a great time. Didn't get the sunset we expected, but that's not their fault. We saw plenty of dolphins and met some really nice people. The crew was fun. The boat was very stable. My better half is sensitive to motion and had no problems.

We absolutely loved it! We took our oldest snorkeling for the first time ever & she absolutely had a blast! We saw lots of dolphins & found plenty of shells off of shell island when we stopped to enjoy the water! My husband & I enjoyed the water slide 🛝 alittle more than our daughter! 😂 She was embarrassed to hang out with us the whole time!!
