Captain Chris from the very start is the sweetest person you'll ever meet. He is so educated about Panama City and the wildlife and the sea life you will learn so much. He is very eco-friendly and safe and we really appreciated that. He knows where all the fun spots are and he really caters to anything that you want sunrise, sunset, wedding, bachelor party he can do it all. We will never take another boat in Panama City again. Trust me you want to book this adventure. Best day ever!!

Anchor Charters is hands down my ultimate must-do in Panama City Beach, and Captain Chris is the…read morereason why. This is my third (or maybe fourth?) time going out with him, and every single trip is better than the last. He's an absolute gem - fun, knowledgeable, safety-conscious, and incredibly in tune with what his guests want. Have an agenda? He's all in. Don't have one? Even better. Captain Chris will find the perfect way to make your day on the water memorable - whether it's dolphin watching, snorkeling, checking out Shell Island, or just relaxing with a cold drink and a great view. He knows the Gulf like the back of his hand and genuinely loves showing it off. As a condo owner in PCB, I've made it a tradition to book with Anchor Charters anytime I have guests I really want to impress. It's not just about the beautiful scenery - it's about showcasing the heart and soul of this place, and Captain Chris embodies that completely. He works hard, loves what he does, and it shows in every moment of the trip. Highly, highly recommend. Five stars aren't enough!

It was a beautiful day to be out and about. Check in was easy, we got there about 30 minutes early, which is recommended, so you can sort out where you need to go. They have an outdoor dining area and bar where you can get drinks and snacks, and also you can purchase swimming gear and sunscreen if you forget. All the staff was wonderful, you could tell they were happy to be there, and happy to help the guests out throughout the excursion and when we were docked too. It was a 3 hour boat ride, and I was looking for a 4 hour ride for us, but 3 hours was truly just enough so we can enjoy doing other things for our vacay. If we're back this way, would definitely come back for this crew!

My friends and I were looking to be on the water everyday while we were vacationing in Panama City…read moreBeach. The beach and pool are always a good time, but nothing beats being on the open water so we booked a catamaran ride through Island Time Sailing. We booked a good month in advance and the company was very communicative when we reached out regarding possible bad weather in the area during our trip. Well, the bad weather never came and the day arrived for our sailing. We arrived early as instructed and parking was not an issue. They share a space with The Dock PCB which is a waterfront bar. Island Time has a little booth off to the side where you check in and get your boarding passes. Once checked in, we grabbed some drinks at The Dock and patiently waited to set sail. The area has plenty of seating both covered and out in the sun. The dock is off to the side and I am not sure if it's exclusively for Island Time. We set up shop right by the dock and were first in line to board. If you want a prime seats on the boat, get there early like us. We were greeted by our captain Cristo so brought us on board. There we were introduced to Emma and Emily who made sure everybody had a great time on our trip. They were our bartenders, but they also anchored the boat, helped everyone out in the water and generally made the trip so much more fun. Give those girls a raise! Our trip to Shell Island was nice and smooth. They kept a steady pace and found a great spot to anchor. Once we anchored, we were free to do what we wanted for a few hours. They gave us clear instructions on watching the flags on the boat to know when it was almost time to go as well as when you needed to have your butt back on the boat. They also sound an alarm. There is absolutely no reason why you should miss getting back on board on time. The place we anchored was perfect. The water felt great. It was clean and had great access to a beautiful beach area which we explored a little bit. While we were in the water, a few different food boats came around for things like BBQ, tacos and ice cream. Emma and Emily were checking on us frequently and getting drinks for us when needed. On the ride back, Cristo even had enough wind to set the sail which was cool to see. The whole ride was filled with great music as well. Overall, we had a fantastic time on this excursion. I highly recommend it if you are visiting Panama City Beach. I will definitely come back next time I am in the area.
