A nice little sail out to the good dolphin-watching spot, then the other Sea Screamer showed up...they created this super cool wave they called "dragging." The dolphins all joined in and were surfing along on the wave, jumping and playing. Freaking fantastic voyage! Highly, highly recommend it. Highly. I got some videos of pelicans floating along on the breeze - man, those things are so amazing. I watch them on the Causeway all the time, but this was above and beyond. Heh, literally. And then came the battle. Water squirters and broadsides with the other Screamer...then Bo starting filling the soakers with ice water from the chest. Ha ha ha, I didn't mean to laugh, ma'am, but I bet that was freaking cold. If you're in Panama City Beach, don't miss this one, it's a keeper. And tell my friend, Kaysea, hi - she's giving out the tickets, but you couldn't miss her, anyway, she's a total babe. Love you, K!

My husband and I booked our Sea Screamer Dolphin Cruise for 12:15pm( it was raining earlier, but…read morehad finally cleared up). We liked that there were plenty of seats on the dock to sit in wait ( first come first serve for your group). When it was time to load, we got our picture taken (pictures are $10), and loaded on to the boat. We sat behind the food/ drinks area in the front row. Unfortunately, because of the weather we only saw 1 pod of dolphins and everyone ran to the side of the boat and we were not able to get a photo. We did enjoy the boat ride and learning the history of the area. The staff, captains, and everyone working on board had excellent customer service, they were entertaining and made the experience enjoyable. All of the food and drinks on board are under $5! So loved how affordable it was. I would say that this cruise was definitely for kids and families. They had a lot of kids activities and we were in the middle of all of it, which is fine- but I think that families should be aware of where most of the entertainment is or what sections to sit in and people who don't have kids can sit or elderly so they don't get run into. For the kids, each child gets a turn to steer the boat in the bay, we got to go to bird island ( and we're swarmed by birds- so if you don't like birds I would not do this cruise), they sell food for you to buy and the birds will eat it out of your hand. Then, the other boat pulled up next to ours and the kids hand a huge water gun fight and got soaked. We had to move out of the way. There are no towels on board so bring your own- but they drive fast after so you can dry off! Last, they caught a crab trap from the ocean they had put out and brought on 2 blue crabs and 1 spider crab, and all of the kids got to hold them. We also enjoyed the mix of music and that it wasn't too loud. If you go on the sea screamer and have kids sit by the snack and drink area under the covering behind the captain for the best experience. If you don't have kids or don't want to do the interactive stuff sit in the front or back.

While the boat is at the end of the pier, it was not a ridiculously long walk for him. We boarded via a ramp with handrails, so that was safe and easy.

The sunset cruise goes out to the shell island, but does not dock there. We idled around the area in hopes of seeing dolphins and we were not disappointed. There was a pod that was showing off for the people on 3 boats in the area. Great fun! Update: We went back for the Shell Island tour today.

The crew came around and introduced themselves and asked if we needed anything during the tour to let them know. They also have on-board snacks, drinks and a restroom. The tour starts at Papa Joe's which has food trucks, a little store, and even a pickleball court. The ship left at 1:30 and was about a 45-minute journey to Shell Island. I was a little disappointed with the Island itself. The shells were all broken and going out to see and look for shells the water wasn't as clear as other Florida beaches. I saw a stingray which was really cool but also made me hesitant to go too far in the water, also saw some crabs too and didn't want to get pinched. After an hour on the Island, we went to go see some dolphins - there were tons. You will define see dolphins on this tour. After doing a few circles to make sure everyone on the boat saw them, we started heading back. It was after this the crew went around again to ask if anyone was feeling at all seasick because of the turning. Overall the tour was really great. I don't thinknid recommend Shell Island itself but doing the dolphin tour would be worth the visit.

They took the time to talk with us about the biology of the creatures we encountered, and explained the natural features and how the waterways in the area are connected. They were knowledgeable, friendly, caring, and because they are such excellent navigators we felt very safe in their capable hands. On the way back they took the time to stop in a spot frequented by sea turtles and one of the turtle popped its head up right near the boat several times!
