Great Guide- and Dolphins too! - Matt was friendly, personable, and knowledgable about the area. He was caring and highly attentive to our needs. We really enjoyed seeing the dolphins at sunset. The privacy of the trip made us feel special.

Forget the others--go with this one! - As good fortune would have it, I decided on this cruise instead of all the other options...so very happy I did!!
Our foursome was treated to a top shelf experience at an exceedingly reasonable price. The vessel was lovely and seemed brand new, with a covered area and seats that were mega-comfortable. We brought a small cooler (you can also bring food if you like), and our host had plenty of ice and towels on hand.
What a joy to cruise the beautiful bay in comfort with just the four of us friends and the most genial of hosts, "Capt Matt". No having to listen to other people's conversations/problems or other people's kids. No sharing space with loud and/or obnoxious "overserved" individuals. Just calm serenity...although if your group wants to party on, you can certainly do that without fear of others recording your fun for posterity. It's your cruise, your way--however you want to enjoy it. The good Captain aims to please, and please us he did!
Note: The little marina it sails out of is a hidden gem, with plenty of parking, no crowds and nice restroom facilities steps away from the boat.
My advice: Just book it. Book it now. You will not only not be sorry, but will congratulate yourself on your good sense, and your companions will do the same.

An Unforgettable Trip - Captain Matt was awesome! He was extremely kind and friendly, talkative when appropriate while also letting us enjoy the spectacular views in tranquility, and best of all, he knew the best spots to take us for an unforgettable trip. We started out by heading to an island where he anchored and let us get off the boat and swim and search for starfish, of which we found several (mostly due to Captain Matt finding them for us). Afterward we took a leisurely stroll around the bay taking in the amazing scenery and sunset views. Finally he found some dolphins for us just in the nick of time, as they were unusually quiet on this evening. However we ended up seeing what I would estimate to be about 4-6 dolphins swimming in the water which was incredible. We were able to get as close as about 25-30 feet which was the closest our family has gotten yet. Overall this was truly a wonderful experience and one we won’t be forgetting anytime soon. Book your boat trip with Captain Matt and you won’t regret it. We certainly don’t!

Two old people! - Amazing trip! Dolphins jumping perfect sunset, and Matt, the Captain, was very knowledgeable about the area. Received everything expected…plus.
We were a group of 2 so we enjoyed a private romantic sunset. Matt offered us water and the sound system for our music. We chose not to listen to music, but let the captain explain about himself and the waters we were in.
We highly recommend Panama City pontoon Charters for an amazing sunset tour.

Perfect night, wonderful experience! - Purchased this as a gift for my mom and her husband during their visit. Matthew was very communicative and professional when he contacted me to move the start time in order to make sunset in time and also when my mom was going to be a little late. They thoroughly enjoyed their private cruise led by Matthew and only had great things to say. Thank you!
