Absolutely fabulous - I just loved our bar tender she was sweet as pie. We did a lot of family activities on our trip but the catamaran was by far the most enjoyable. Will definitely be an activity for every Panama City trip

AMAZING - The tour was the highlight of our vacation. We got to see lots of dolphins, fish, crabs and found some very cool stuff. The bar was also great and reasonably priced, we got two rum punches for $20. The crew Keith, Carter and Sarah were amazing, very friendly, personable and educated! There was plenty of room to spread out on the boat and be able to walk to where the dolphins were and not feel like you are in the way.
