Overview

We'll begin this adventure with a sail through the Grand Lagoon area to our own private playground area off of Shell Island. Once you arrive, you'll enjoy kayaking, paddle boarding, snorkeling, and an inflatable water park equipped with trampolines, water slides, seesaw ball and more on this 3 hour adventure cruise! At the end of the tour, we'll go looking for dolphins in the Gulf of Mexico. All activities and use of equipment are included. Additional snacks and beverages can be purchased as well. Food can be brought on to the catamaran, but no outside beverages are allowed.

RED FLAGS DO NOT AFFECT OUR TOURS. Our tours operate in St. Andrews Bay, where conditions are often much calmer than the Gulf.

What To Expect

Your 3-hour trip on our 52-foot catamaran Privateer will include a scenic dolphin boat tour through Grand Lagoon to Shell Island. Enjoy the tropical scenery and music as you look for dolphins along the way. There will be lots of fun waiting for you when you arrive at the inflatable water park at Shell Island, Panama City Beach.

Enjoy our water trampolines, see-saw called the “rockit” and other inflatable fun! If you’re looking for something more low-key, explore on a kayak or paddleboard and give snorkeling a try. You can take in the natural beauty that Shell Island has to offer or if you want, hang out on the bow of the boat in our two sunning nets and relax and listen to music. Enjoy sipping on refreshing beverages like our signature Privateer Punch. All of our activities and inflatables are all-inclusive with unlimited use during this exciting trip for no additional charge.

The inflatables and adventure fun are set up on the St. Andrew’s Bay side of Shell Island so our activities are not affected by any rough water conditions and strong undercurrents in the Gulf.
