Great family experience

Opted for the boat tour instead of going to the water park. Best decision and would definitely recommend. We were able to relax and enjoy our adventure with family away from crowds and hot cement. Captain Jason was laid back and funny. He even turned the boat around to get my hat that blew away. It was a fun time.

Perfect family outing

Great family outing! We took our 3 and 10 year old and both had a blast. The boat ride was relaxing and just long enough between snorkeling and shell hunting. We saw dolphins and caught hermit crabs for the hermit crab race which was a huge hit. You can bring your own snacks and drinks. They provide the snorkeling masks and life jackets if needed. Great crew and great fun! Boat has plenty of shade too!

Fantastic sunset cruise

This was an amazing cruise. The captain and crew were fantastic. The boat was very nice and clean. We saw dolphins and deer. The weather was great and the sunset was beautiful. I recommend the rum punch. They had plenty of n/a drink choices too. So glad we went when we did. 100% recommended. My husband and 16 year old thought it was great too.

Snorkel & Dolphin Sightseeing Tour Aboard the Footloose

Clint_G, Jun 2026

Absolute blast

I had 7 with my party when we went and the day before I spent well over 500 going to ship wreck island , this was so much cheaper and 10 out of 10 a much better time !!! I will say this the captains deck hand makes so mean drinks on board and is awesome at keeping them flowing while setting anchor and setting out the ladders and helping dock the boat , with that being said remember when ur feet hit dry land ur youv made it to dock , its a whole other ride lol 😂 and the drinks are great and cheaper anywhere else ull go in Panama City. As far as our experience hands down a wonder time cap. Stopped the boat at shell island right on a area with a bunch sand dollars and she was very informative the whole trip showing us the landscapes and teaching us about some of the wildlife we saw , and the music she played set the mood . Like I said if your looking just to go out and buy drinks somewhere instead of doing that set up a trip with these guys i promise Ull save money while at the same time having a blast and actually be able to relax and enjoy Panama City the way you deserve being on vacation . Me and my family will definitely be going back !!! Thank y’all for awesome experience

🌊Great Crew, Great Boat, Great Time!

We had an amazing experience with this charter boat trip to Crab Island! From the moment we arrived, the crew was friendly, professional, and very attentive to everyone on board. They made sure we were comfortable, safe, and had everything we needed throughout the trip. The boat was clean and well-maintained, and the ride to Crab Island was smooth and enjoyable. The crew shared helpful information, answered all of our questions, and went above and beyond to make sure everyone had a great time. Crab Island itself was nice, and having such a reliable and accommodating charter company made the experience even better. We created wonderful memories and would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for a fun and stress-free day on the water. We will definitely be booking with them again!

I wasn’t sure what to expect. I booked for the day before in error, Viator was able to contact the vendor and correct for then. The captain was amazing and when we arrived at Crab Island I was like OmG, this is going to be so much fun. It was a great experience and well with the money and more. I was solo and thinking this would be a fun time for a girls and family and as well.

Fun times on the water!

This is a great experience for families and adults. It is a combination of a water tour of the area, a wild sea animal I Spy adventure, followed by some fun snorkeling and collecting shells of all shapes, colors, and sizes!! Tour guide Dave was FANTASTIC, he was lively, very knowledgeable, and made sure that the experience was never boring. We will definitely be going again next year, maybe we will try the sunset one instead of the early morning time slot.
