Highlights
  • 1209 Beck Ave - B BY THE SEA ADVENTURES - dolphin sight seeing, snorkeling, wildlife sightings, shell hunting, and exploring the beautiful St. Andrews Bay.

Dolphin sight seeing - St. Andrews Bay is home to many local dolphins. They can be seen throughout the bay. When conditions are right a snorkel and mask allow a even closer look.

Snorkeling - St. Andrews Bay is full of marine wildlife. With good conditions we have all the gear for your snorkeling experience.

Wildlife Sightings - Panama City is home to the popular Seagull, Pelican, Osprey, Blue Heron, Egret, and White Tail Deer. While the local deer are normally shy, they can be spotted more in the afternoon sunset cruises. The bird species are more common and will typically allow for closer camera shots.

Shell Hunting - The panhandle area has a vast amount of sea shells. Hunting for these is a fun idea for the kids and even adults!
St Andrews Bay Exploration - Take a ride through the Bay and see what the local area looks like.

With many options available, my goal is to do what’s most interesting and accommodating for my passengers. If there is something not mentioned you want to do, just let me know and I’ll see if we can make it happen.

Fun outing for all - This was a great trip for us and our kids (ages 4-8). The younger kids enjoyed the shell hunting and a couple of us got to try out a little snorkeling. The captain is very professional and friendly.

Memories with our boys - Great trip! The captain and her assistant were talented and knowledgable about sea life, the area and shells. We had a special trip with our sons (7 & 5 year old).

Fun family outing on the water! - We had a wonderful time on our dolphin cruise with Captain Brittany despite the cool, rainy weather. We were able to spot multiple dolphins in several locations throughout our trip. Our teen daughters love to shell and she took us to Shell Island where they found some treasures. Captain Brittany was so knowledgeable about the area and wildlife which made it really fun. We would highly recommend this adventure to others!

Best Way To See Dolphins 🐬🐬🐬 and Shell Island 🐚 🐚🐚!!! - Thank you so much for such an awesome and memorable day! Captain Brittany was so gracious and sweet with our kids. My son loved going to Shell Island and collecting sea shells. She really caters the trip to what the client would like to do and she asked if we wanted to stay at the beach longer or ride more to look for dolphins although she had not heard of any dolphin sightings that day. As we were headed back, she took us to an area where a dolphin had been sighted and the most magical and memorable part of our day occurred. Two beautiful dolphins came right to the side of the boat! I could not believe it. They were almost close enough to touch. The kids and husband were stunned. Wonderful time! Would definitely recommend this for families and couples. Very reasonable price, undervalued even!

Brittany's a great Captain! - Brittany was a great host with a clean boat. She was fun and interactive, my daughter loved her! We saw some jellies and a couple pods of dolphins. There was a storm rolling in when we went on our morning tour, but she was determined for us to see marine life. We would highly recommend her for future outings!
