What to expect

Skip the crowded tourist boats and experience Panama City Beach from a private boat built for small groups and real time on the water.

On this 3-hour private tour, your group will cruise through the Gulf and surrounding bays searching for wild dolphins, exploring Shell Island, swimming in clear shallow water, and snorkeling when conditions allow.

This isn’t a packed party boat or a scripted tour. It’s your trip, your pace, and your crew only.

Capt. Rob brings 15 years of experience on these waters and knows where to find dolphins while keeping the trip safe, relaxed, and fun for all ages.

Whether you want to spend more time dolphin watching, swimming, snorkeling, or just cruising the emerald water around Shell Island, every trip is customized to your group.

Perfect for families, couples, and small private groups looking for a more personable time on the water.
