5.00Even with the colder weather we were able to see lots of dolphins. The Capt & first mate were knowledgeable. Our whole group(ages2-52) had a good time.
May be PCB's best dolphin cruise!

5.00"We had a fantastic experience on this boat tour! From the moment we arrived, everything was seamless and right on time. Our Captain was absolutely wonderful—she was incredibly friendly, patient, and courteous throughout the entire trip. You can tell she truly cares about her guests having a great time. She worked so hard to find the best spots for us to see dolphins, and her persistence paid off! The kids were absolutely thrilled. She even managed to get the dolphins to 'dance' in the wake of the boat, which was a memory my family will never forget. It was the perfect blend of relaxation and excitement. If you are visiting Panama City Beach, you must use their service. It’s the best way to see the beauty of Shell Island and the local wildlife. Five stars all the way!"
