About this tour

Set sail as the Gulf Coast sky turns gold on a Panama City Beach dolphin sunset cruise aboard the Island Time Sailing Catamaran. This two-hour trip pairs open-water views with the chance to spot dolphins and other wildlife near Shell Island.

Departing from Lagoon Pontoons Marina, the cruise glides along the coast while you take in the scenery and listen to relaxing music. The tour description mentions rum punch during the sail; alcoholic drinks are also available to purchase. As the sun sinks toward the horizon, enjoy the changing colors over the water. On the return to the dock, join in games and dancing for a lively finish. A driver/guide accompanies the cruise, and all taxes, fees, and handling charges are included.

Find the marina along North Lagoon Road, past Captain Anderson's parking lot and Lighthouse Marina. Book your Panama City Beach dolphin sunset cruise for an easygoing evening on the water, with wildlife watching and sunset views in one memorable outing.

How this score is calculated

This score is based on one provider. Viator rates it 4.88 from 2,149 reviews. We place that rating among all Viator ratings and weight it by its review count. If the tour is found on another provider later, both ratings are combined.

How the score works and rating distribution in Panama City Beach
  • Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.
  • Listings on different providers are combined in proportion to their review counts.
  • Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
  • The result is shown from 0 to 10: this tour scores 8.1. Top 25% in Panama City Beach means it ranks in the top 25% of tours in Panama City Beach by this score.
