Shell Island Cruises Resort
We love our dolphins. We want them to flourish so that future generations can enjoy their beauty. We hope that they will be as excited about seeing us as are we! Unfortunately, that would mean they were being fed by people from boats. This is illegal and dangerous for the dolphins.
We love our dolphins, and we want them to thrive for future generations. We would love for them to be just as excited to meet us as we are! However, it would also mean that dolphins are being fed on boats by people. This is illegal and potentially dangerous for them.
Had a great time relaxing on the catamaran, looking out for dolphins and snorkeling and paddle boarding. The staff was great! We saw quite a few dolphins and sting rays as well. Not many fish to see snorkeling, but it was still fun.

After an hour at Shell Island we will sail out to the Gulf of Mexico for wild dolphins. Please read the following disclaimer about dolphins. Although we always hope for the best, and it's not common to not see dolphins in the wild, the itinerary will be adjusted to suit the weather and other conditions. The return cruise to the dock is an exciting sailing party at Panama City Beach, complete with dancing, music and games.
