What to expect
Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product
Stop At: Shell Island, Panama City Beach, FL
With sparkling clear water bordering its sugar-white sandy shore, Shell Island is a rare opportunity to experience a beach as nature intended, without any distractions. Accessible but preserved, Shell Island is seven miles of undeveloped paradise nestled between the gulf and St. Andrew Bay and inhabited by diverse wildlife. Shell Island has all the makings of a perfect activity-filled beach vacation.
Duration: 45 minutes
Stop At: St. Andrews State Park, 4607 State Park Ln, Panama City Beach, FL 32408-7347
With the Gulf of Mexico on one side and St. Andrews Bay on the other, visitors who crave swimming, snorkeling or surfing will be more than satisfied.
Theodore Tollofson evidently liked what he saw when he shipwrecked on what is now St. Andrews State Park during a 1929 hurricane. He homesteaded in his derelict boat for the next 25 years.
Now, state park visitors can experience what kept “Teddy the Hermit” at St. Andrews — sugar white sands, emerald green waters and a vast array of ever-changing winged creatures.
The park is a popular migratory stopover for numerous bird and butterfly species.
Besides boasting a mile-and-a-half of pristine beaches for fishing and swimming, St. Andrews also offers the chance for visitors to stroll through pines and along dunes and coastal plant communities or stay overnight in the campground.

A private boat with only our family and the captain on board, cold drinks beautiful water and the destination is entirely up to you. Dolphin watching, chase down a school of tarpons, sunset photos, collecting shells, or stop for a swim on a beach entirely to yourself. This is the tour to take for a truly unforgettable time. When the tour is over you'll be able to say, "We get to live like this".Extraordinary476974

This was a very nice boat tour. Glen, our captain, was very nice and friendly. He took us to Shell Island at the perfect time of day, it was absolutely beautiful. I would definitely book again.

We had an amazing boat ride! Captain Connor went above and beyond the expectations. We went to multiple spots and we saw dolphins and a sea turtle! Snorkeling was so much fun and Captain Connor even found us a sea urchin and a large crab. I would highly recommend this experience!

Trevor went above and beyond what I feel like was expected of him. He was very helpful and took us to a great spot for snorkeling. The water was too choppy on the day we went to enter the Gulf, but my kids had a blast nonetheless. Wouldn't hesitate to go again!
