My husband and I went on the Sunset cruise and it was beautiful!! The crew was so kind and we were able to watch the dolphins for a long time! They knew just where to find them. 🐬 I’d recommend to anyone to book with Island Time!

Captain Heath, Carter and Audra were our crew for this amazing cruise at Panama City Beach. The boat was beautiful and we had plenty of room to move from side to side and see the dolphins, of which there were many! Carter, the first mate, gave us a wonderful introduction to the area and Audra was very pleasant and informative as well. Drinks were served on the trip and we were fortunate to catch both a beautiful sunset AND a full moon! All in all, a fantastic time with the Island Time Sailing Co.

5 star experience all the way through from purchasing tickets online to showing up at the registration hut, to getting on the boat to sailing into the sunset and seeing the dolphins. The catamaran was clean and comfortable. When the sails went up: best part of my day. I love the wind in the sails. What a perfect weather evening we had. It was magical. Our deckhand Carter was THE best. Do not miss their Island Time Rum Punch! I can't wait until my return to PCB next year. This will be on the top of my list of things to do.

Everything about this dolphin watch boat tour is phenomenal, the Captain and crew are amazing! Me and my girlfriend have done this twice within a year and it’s been amazing and worth every penny.

My family had a great time on the Cruise and the captain and crew were awesome. My 4 year old was so excited to see all of the dolphins and my parents enjoyed the time on the boat and the beautiful PCB sunset view.
