After an hour at Shell Island we will sail out to the Gulf of Mexico for wild dolphins. Please read the following disclaimer about dolphins. Although we always hope for the best, and it's not common to not see dolphins in the wild, the itinerary will be adjusted to suit the weather and other conditions. The return cruise to the dock is an exciting sailing party at Panama City Beach, complete with dancing, music and games.

These are wild animals in their natural habitat doing what they want to do. Our encounters observe them on their terms and depend on what they are doing and their mood. Encounters happen pretty often; however, there is no way that we can guarantee it. We are bound by the laws of The Marine Mammal Protection Act of 1972 and subsequent amendments, in addition to the laws of the State of Florida.
