What To Expect
Your 1.5-hour experience aboard our 52-foot catamaran Privateer will begin with a scenic cruise through Grand Lagoon. Your experienced captain and crew will be on the lookout for dolphins so you may experience the thrill of seeing these magnificent animals as they play in their natural habitat. Dolphin sightings happen often; however, they are not guaranteed as we cannot predict the location and activities of the wildlife. Whether we sail in the serene St. Andrews Bay past Shell Island or in the shimmering waters of the Gulf of Mexico, your adventure will be filled with excitement and anticipation. Sailing in Panama City Beach is a breathtaking experience. Together, we’ll responsibly look for dolphins to observe in their natural playground where they swim, play and feed. A treasure trove of delights awaits your visit to Privateer’s onboard bar to enjoy refreshing beverages and snacks, including specialty cocktails like the Privateer Punch!
