Why Shell Island Boat Rentals and Tours?

Decades of experience.

We’re celebrating our 36th year of offering tours and rentals in Panama City Beach. We consistently offer the largest fleet of new boats in the area.

Small Group Tours

Unlike larger tour boats that carry up to 150 people, Blue Dolphin Tours carries only 6 passengers per boat and our Large Family Cruiser boat 15 passengers (children included). We can have you in the water with your snorkel gear on quickly and without all the splashing and disruptions that large groups create, often frightening the dolphins away.

Friendly and Professional

Our professional yet easy-going attitude has helped make us a success. Most importantly, our valued repeat customers continue to support us, and we invite you to discover why!

Swim with Panama City's resident pod of wild bottle-nosed dolphins in their natural home, aboard custom super-fast boats specially designed for finding and visiting with the dolphins...

Sunset private 2 hour relaxing cruise

If you are in search of a beautiful, unique way to see Shell Island & the Sunset, our new Private Sunset tour is the way to go! Your knowledgeable captain guide will take you on an unforgettable adventure.

Our boat cruises are unique in that they are tailored to your specific tastes. We take care of all the driving and can offer inside knowledge on the best sights and activities, but ultimately you’re the captain. We do whatever you want to and go wherever you want to go. Our cruises let you sit back and relax and leave all the work to our professional crew.

Whatever you want. The options are many and include:

Exploring Shell Island See wild dolphins Snorkeling the underwater shallows Seeing the sights of St. Andrews Bay Finding a secluded piece of paradise and your own private beach

You’ll never be bored. Our crew can help with suggestions and know all of the best “secret” locations and will tailor your cruise to the enjoyment of your group.

Our boats can accommodate up to thirteen people but we can take multiple boats for larger groups. Our boats are cushioned and comfortable and there’s plenty of room for your beach gear and other items you may want to bring.

Anybody can go. Kids love the adventure and everyone loves seeing the dolphins. Our docks are also handicapped accessible so everyone is welcome and able to enjoy the beautiful sights of our area.

We love our job and we love our customers. However, some customers are late to their appointments. This causes others who may be on the boat with them to wait. We ask that everyone be 15 minutes early, but that does not always happen. And that is not fair to our other customers.

** Boat departures are listed at the trip time on your receipt. ** Boat departures will not be delayed. ** The boats will depart at is scheduled time and NO REFUNDS WILL BE PROCESSED. ** We will do our best to get you on a later boat, but that is not guaranteed and subject to be declined based on lack of openings in the schedule following your originally scheduled trip.

All our crew, captains and deck hands do their best to ensure you have a great time and make memories that will last forever for you and your family. They greatly appreciate gratuities of 20% for a great experience or less if you feel your experience was not up to your expectations. We thank you for choosing us to spend your beach vacation with and we hope to see you again.

Cruising with the Dolphins

capt andersons dolphin cruise panama city fl

Capt Andersons Dolphin Cruise Panama City FL

Capt. Anderson’s Marina and Restaurant are Panama City Beach landmarks, so it’s no wonder you’ll find one of the best dolphin tours around right here.

Captain Marc will likely be your tour guide because he runs the boat six days out of the week. You’re in luck – you really couldn’t ask for a better guide.

Marc loves his job, explaining, “You’ve got to love this job! It’s the same thing every single day! But the crowd is always different … and that’s what keeps me going.”

He’s knowledgeable and entertaining. Since you never know if you’re going to run by a manatee, a school of stingrays, or even a bald eagle, you’ve got to be prepared for anything. He knows facts about all the animals in the area and loves educating the guests on board.

The dolphin cruising vessel was built in 1984 for this very purpose! (Is it okay if we say porpoise ?)

There are two types of cruises you can take: a daytime cruise and an evening one.

From March to October, here are your cruising options:

BY DAY 9:30-12:00 1:00-4:30 ADULTS: $23 CHILD (2-11) $12

BY EVENING 6:00-7:30 ADULTS: $15 CHILD (2-11) $8

Whichever cruise you’re on, it will start with four loud  honks from the boat! Don’t worry … Captain Marc will let you know so your kiddos won’t be alarmed.

Then, you’re ready to start your relaxing adventure. It takes about 45 minutes to get to Shell Island. Plus, you can feed seagulls Cheetos all the way there. As Marc says, “We’ve been feeding these birds for 50 years!”

Once the boat launches from the dock, dozens of birds will flock. The kids love this part.

Between his information about the area, Captain Marc plays Jimmy Buffett tunes to get everybody in the island spirit.

Once you dock up at Shell Island, you can walk the trails that are here to keep the plant life safe and flourishing, or you can relax on the Gulf side. It’s the perfect one-hour beach trip. The sand is white as snow and the water is so refreshing. Wear your suit, because you won’t want to miss splashing around.

True to its name, if you walk the beach and hunt them down, you will end up with a bucket full of shells! Once you head back to the boat, the awesome crew will rinse your feet off for you so you can make the journey back comfortably.

By this time, you’re probably a little peckish, so head to the concession stand in the lower deck (near the glass bottom) to get a $2 hotdog and some water. Maybe even a slushy or some chips. There’s bound to be something you want, and all at reasonable prices.

Now, it’s dolphin time. But before you hit the Gulf, Captain Marc throws a net out of the front of the boat and drags it through the sand to catch some sea critters to put in the little aquarium on the lower level.

Heading out into the Gulf is exciting because you’re not sure when the dolphins will show up. Soon, Captain Marc will exclaim, “There’s one at 3 o’clock!”

Once you spot your first, more and more will start to show up. You’ll see groups of them, and more times than not, there’s a cute little baby dolphin at his mother’s fin.

This cruise is a unique and fun experience that won’t break the bank and takes up half the day.

You can book your cruise by visiting the marina website or calling (850) 874-2415 .
