Honestly amazing for the price we paid. The captain and the crew were the absolute sweetest people. It was the perfect length of time to go get out and be on the water! The whole experience was amazing and the atmosphere the crew helped create was amazing! 10/10 recommend. We came late July and the crowd size was a little big but still felt spacious.
2nd time! We do this everytime we come to PCB. Great crew. Great fun! We love Island Time, beautiful boat, lots of dolphins and snorkeling.
Boat crew were great. Kept everyone entertained and always looking to help anyone at any time.
We had a great time. We were a little confused at first because we thought it was a private boat tour for six people and when we got there the boat was pretty full but we still had a fantastic time. It's a beautiful boat beautiful water great music we found so many sand dollars and shells.
Our crew Heath, Carter and Sarah were excellent. We had a great time from the time we boarded until the very end. Would highly recommend if in Panama City!
Would highly recommend the crew was awesome. The boat ride was great. We did see some dolphins kind of disappointed that we didn’t find any shelves, but the water was real high. I would definitely recommend.
Sara, Carter and Heath made our vacation. This was the best part of our trip. We cannot wait to come back! We took our 2 and 5 year old and they loved it
By far, this was one of the highlights of our vacation. The captain was great, the music was perfect, and the crew was kind and helpful. I only wish it lasted longer ie more island time.
Easy check in/out .. close to a lot of entertainment , clean rooms, comfy beds: super close beach access.
From the start to the end, it was a blast, good music, friendly crew, they really try to get to know you, and take care of you. We had Emma, Avery, and Captain Clay! They were all phenomenal.
