Experience the joy of sun, sea, and sand on the 3-hour Shell Island Snorkel & Dolphin Cruise, brought to you by the renowned Island Time Sailing Catamaran! Prepare for the adventure of a lifetime as we journey to Shell Island- a paradise for the entire family. There, you can snorkel to discover fascinating shells and marine creatures, explore the untouched beauty of the island, or paddle around the boat. After roughly sixty minutes, we’ll leave the island to set out into the Gulf for some sightseeing and dolphin spotting. The cruise concludes with enjoyable contests and dancing. We provide two catamaran options for this trip, each with its unique features. The ‘Island Time’ comes with a waterslide and lacks over the water nets, while the ‘Island Time II’ offers over-the-water nets in front of the vessel, but does not include a waterslide.
