What are people saying about Panama City Beach

Jamie_L, May 2026

Mike & Lamar were great...

Mike & Lamar were great hosts ! A huge ship came through and dolphins were splashing in the front waves and it was AMAZING! We then stopped at shell island and Mike played his deer song for them to come out and it was hilarious 😂 and sure enough they came out. Live music , drinks and watching dolphins and the sunset was a perfect last night on our vacation!

Austin_F, Apr 2026

Amazing

Amazing vibes, good prices, awesome staff. Would recommend a thousand times. We spotted sea turtles and many dolphins. The drinks were 10/10 and the captain let my son drive the boat with him. While we didn’t try the food truck the crawfish smelt amazing. This was definitely the highlight of our trip out in Panama City

Halie_N, Apr 2026

Saw so many pods of dolphins !

Jordan and Jay were awesome guides! They played awesome music and there is even a bathroom on board which is great for the littles and adults alike. My only suggestion is they should totally offer little snacks along with the drinks . They’d have made a killing off me and my family 😂

2 Hour Shell Island Jet Ski Dolphin Tour

Manoranjan_U, Feb 2026

10/10 experience

We had the BEST experience with AAA Jet Ski Rentals in Panama City Beach! From start to finish, everything was smooth, fun, and super professional. Micah was absolutely amazing. He was so friendly, chill, and extremely helpful the entire time. He made us feel comfortable right away, explained everything clearly, and made sure we were confident before heading out. What we really appreciated was how he let us explore and enjoy the ride while still being attentive and making sure we were safe. My wife and I had such an incredible time out on the water — it was easily one of the highlights of our trip. The jet ski ran perfectly, the views were beautiful, and the whole experience felt stress-free and exciting at the same time. Huge shoutout to Micah for making it extra special. We’ll definitely be back next time we’re in Panama City Beach!

Shell Island Inflatable Adventure Park & Dolphin Sightseeing Tour

Samantha_G, Jul 2025

Catamaran adventure with my children

The was my first time in Panama City Beach, and on a catamaran boat. We rode to the island and spend the day where the kids played in the water and searched for shells. Although there were not all of the blowups in the water and there were not any shelves we still had a great day after the island we went to look for dolphins and we saw schools of them. It was a great day and the staff was awesome and everyone was super friendly. I would highly recommend it to others.
