Shell Island Beach Tour


Your Panama City Beach adventure catamaran sail is approximately 3 hours of fun in the sun! You’ll begin with a short sailing cruise across St. Andrews Bay to some of the best spots along Shell Island based on conditions and clarity for dolphin views and sea life. The “Island Time” is a wide, stable sailing cruise catamaran we’ll anchor in about 5 feet of water where you can snorkel around Shell Island, search for seashells or just relax in the calm water. Try our stand-up paddleboards or make a splash from our popular water slide.

Sailing


Snorkeling is great around the St. Andrews State Park beach, and also on Shell Island. Habitats can range from sandy bottom to shallow grassy flats to the rock faces of the jetties. See tropical fishes, crabs, and rays. You might also see a turtle or some bottle nose dolphins if you are fortunate. Snorkel equipment can be rented from the Jetty Store. You may also purchase it as part or a complete package, which includes shuttle tickets and snorkel gear on a Shell Island Snorkel Tour.

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.
