Highlights
  • 4114 Jan Cooley Dr - Embark on a 90-minute journey on our luxurious 52-foot catamaran, the Privateer, as we navigate through the picturesque Grand Lagoon. Our skilled captain and crew will keep an eye out for dolphins, offering you the chance to witness these splendid creatures in their natural environment.\n\nWhile dolphin encounters are frequent, they cannot be promised since the movements and behaviors of these wild animals are unpredictable. Our voyage may take us through the tranquil waters of St. Andrews Bay, around Shell Island, or into the sparkling seas of the Gulf of Mexico, each route promising an adventure filled with wonder and expectation. Sailing in Panama City Beach offers an unparalleled experience. We are committed to searching for dolphins in a respectful manner, observing them as they frolic, hunt, and socialize in their oceanic home.\n\nStep into the world of luxury at SV Privateer’s on-deck bar, where a selection of refreshing drinks and light fare awaits, featuring our signature Privateer Punch among other specialty beverages. Kindly note that we only accept payments through debit or credit cards at our bar.
