Turn onto North Lagoon as if you were headed to Captain Anderson's. After the turn you will continue past their parking lot AND past the Lighthouse Marina. We will then be on the right hand side underneath the trees/down a gravel road. There will be signs out front with our company name.
This 3 hour tour was amazing! Captain made sure we saw the dolphins and even took us over the top of a shipwreck! Snorkeling on Shell Island was super fun and the kids loved it. Highly recommended for everyone no matter your age.

The St. Andrews State Park jetty is a good spot for snorkeling, as well as Shell Island. There are many habitats available, including sand bottoms, shallow grass flats and the rocky faces of the jetties. There are many species of fish and crabs to be seen, as well as rays and, if you're lucky enough, some resident bottle nose dolphins. Renting snorkel equipment at the Jetty Store is an option, as well as purchasing it in a complete package with shuttle tickets on a Shell Island Snorkel Tour.
You can have fun on the Panama City Beach Adventure Catamaran Sail for approximately 3 hours. Start with a sailing cruise along St. Andrews Bay, to reach the best spots along Shell Island depending on the weather conditions. The "Island Time", which is a stable, wide sailing catamaran that can be sailed in calm water, will be anchored in 5 feet of water. Here you can snorkel around Shell Island and search for seashells. Take a look at our stand-up paddleboards and make a splash on our water slide.
Though the area boasts an average of 320 days of sunshine per year, late spring, summer and early fall offer some of the warmest air and water temperatures. Plus, by avoiding a visit in March or April, you'll dodge the deluge of college students who descend on the area's ivory sands every year for spring break.
