NEW SUMMER 2025
Morning Dolphin Encounter
Rise and shine for a magical morning on the water with our Early Bird Dolphin Encounter!
Beat the crowds and enjoy cooler temperatures, calmer seas, and the best chance to see dolphins at play during their most active time of day. This peaceful, early cruise offers a front-row seat to nature’s show—graceful dolphins gliding through the waves, seabirds soaring overhead, and the soft glow of the morning sun on the Gulf.
With fewer boats on the water, you’ll enjoy a more intimate and relaxed experience—perfect for photos, families, or anyone who wants to connect with nature in a quiet, beautiful setting.
Lower rates, lighter traffic, and unforgettable sights—book your morning escape today!
Sunset Dolphin Encounter
Our sunset cruise departs every evening to travel through the Historic Grand Lagoon into St. Andrews Bay, then up through the channel known as “The Pass” out to the edge of the Gulf and watch the dolphins play. St. Andrew’s Bay is home to a large population of Bottlenose Dolphins. An encounter with these beautiful, intelligent creatures is very common in the bay and the Gulf of Mexico, and all passengers will be lively engaged in the “Dolphin Watch” and subsequent viewing on this trip. Being out on the water and watching these graceful wild animals in their natural habitat is one of the most enjoyable trips you will experience here in beautiful Panama City Beach!
As Capt. Ford used to say, “Come on out and get a little salt in your sniffer”!
- Be sure to bring your camera!
- Restrooms and Snack Bar on board
- Historical narration by the captain
- Largest and most comfortable boat-seats for all
