Absolutely the best part of our trip. Great equipment, helpful staff, and worth every penny. Able to get to spots on shell island only reachable by boat. Would definately recommend as a must have for any panama city beach vacation!

Is was a perfect weather day to do this. Wind was light. There is a lot of boat traffic in the bay so you do need to be careful navigating but she got to a hot is three different spots and hang out. It was very nice.

Would highly recommend someone with some boating experience because the locals will make it a rocky boat ride. But overall if you do have boating experience then you will have a blast

Loved the experience. We rented the boat to take the shell island. There was 10 of us. So it was cheaper to rent a boat than to take the shuttle.
Also renting the boat to go to shell island gave us the choice of where to go on shell island. We picked a spot and no one was around us all day.
Very lovely.

We had a great time! We took our 19-year-old triplets, and they absolutely loved it. The water was crystal clear, and the island was beautiful. We enjoyed swimming and walking around in the shallow water. I only wish we had brought some floats!
We didn't even use the chairs we hauled down to the dock because we spent most of our time in the water. The staff was friendly, helpful, and accommodating.
**Tip:** Arrive about 40 minutes early. The staff does a thorough job explaining everything, and if there's a line, arriving early will help ensure you get started on time.

Had the best time driving our own pontoon at our own pace! Note: if you’ve never driven a boat you may not want to do this just to avoid any frustration. But other than that the boat was perfect for our family. We had 4 adults, a teen and 4 toddlers under 5. Tanner was our host and was super helpful in explaining where we should go and how to get there and assisted us with all of our belongings. He also left a bag for our trash which was extremely helpful considering we fogot ours. Thanks again!
