- Inspiration6871460 contributionsAMAZING!Captain Matt was great! I highly recommend the private tour. We were able to swim and hang out in the beautiful water as long as we wanted. My kids found tons of hermit crabs, sand dollars, starfish, fish, all kinds of amazing wildlife. Matt knew what everything was and answered my kids questions professionally and was super friendly. The kids loved the slide it was all great! I will definitely do this again when I visit next year. Awesome experience!!Written July 18, 2024
- brianray010 contributionsWe would give 10 STARS if we could!We would give 10 STARS if we could! Matthew and the Group at Panama City Pontoon Charters were AWESOME!!! Very accommodating and great with our family! We had booked out charter with them early in our week long vacation but the Wind and Weather were alittle to much for our family of 9 with 4 kids under age of 11. They cooperated with us and looked at their weather apps and rebooked at no charge. The day we did get to go out was AMAZING. Their SLIDE Pontoon, Floating Dock, Paddle Boards and Floating chair were So much fun for all of us but especially the Kids. Matthew helped us see Sea Turtles, Sting Rays and Dolphins. He then took us to an awesome place and we found 2 different species of Star Fish. He also found and explained in detail about Sand Dollars. Our half a day trip went by WAY to fast. Their boats are CLEAN and WELL MAINTAINED. We STONGLY RECOMMEND this Charter Service!Written July 16, 2024

- 967jadam0 contributionsFamily vacation pcbI've been going to Panama City Beach since I was born as a family vacation. This year I wanted to rent a boat and do something a little different. I am so glad I did . We all had the best time ever ! Our captain was the best ! He asked us what we would like to do or see and he went beyond! Not only did he take us to do everything all 5 of us wanted to do , he even got in the water to help us look for starfish so we wouldn't go home without seeing one! How awesome was that! We seen dolphins, went snorkeling seen fish and starfish and crabs , went paddle boarding and use the slid on the boat plus all the other amenities he had ! We definitely will be booking with them again and telling everyone about it ! Thank you so much for making our family vacation trip so much more memorable.Written August 20, 2023
- 457shanaj0 contributionsPrivate boat adventureWe had a great day with Matt our captain. He was very responsive to messages and communicated clearly. Started with exploration at Shell island followed by finding starfish, etc in a quiet cove with paddle boarding. We were thrilled to see several dolphins on are way back to the dock. There was a cooler on board as well as a Bluetooth speaker. It was my kids’ favorite activity of our trip to PCB!Written August 13, 2023

- Nanalorilyn0 contributionsPerfect day on the waterWhat a perfect day!! Our captain Matt asked what we wanted to see and do on our excursion and we checked everything off that list!! We saw dolphins, sea turtles and starfish!! We enjoyed using the lily pad and paddle boards and of course the slide on the boat. The boat is very nice as well as the equipment! Matt was very knowledgeable about any questions we had. We highly recommend this excursion and will definitely do it again if we’re back in the area!!Written August 1, 2023
- Brianne S0 contributionsWeatherI wish they would have let us know before we left that there was weather coming in and we could have just cancelled our trip. We made the best of it but check the weather before going out. Matt out captain was great making the best of the situation. We didn’t have a chance to go to Shell Island except a few minutes.Written July 30, 2023

I should have read the details more closely. This is a private boat, but not completely private. I was hoping me and my husband would be able to sit on the top deck and have some privacy but the captain said there are no chairs up there and they store all of the rafts up there. So me and my husband had to sit on the bottom level in front of the captain. So that was a bummer - kind of felt like a chaperone. Not how I was planning to spend my anniversary. Also, this cruise is in St. Andrews BAY. It does NOT go to the beach or open water. So our sunset was obstructed by buildings and the horizons. I must say, if you want an unobstructed view of the sunset, go to the beach and watch it from shore or go on a totally different excursion that goes out into the beach waters.

We made our reservation two days prior. We were driving from Rosemary Beach to Panama City Beach, approximately 40 minutes. We arrived at 6:05pm for our 6:30pm sunset cruise. After waiting until 6:45pm and we decided to head back. We called the number on the reservation and it was sent to a cell number where the voicemail wasn't set up. Needless to say, not impressed when you get no showed by the cruise company. 1 Star at best. Scam......

Hello, I am terribly sorry for the inconvenience and the frustration. Viator is linked to our booking software and for some unknown reason the booking did not come through on our booking software, so we were not aware of the trip. This is not something that has happened before, but we have reached out to make sure it doesn’t happen again. We have refunded you the full amount of the trip cost, and again we sincerely apologize for the troubles.
We never want to leave our customers with a bad impression, so we would like to offer free you a free sunset cruise if you choose to come back and visit. We would really love to show you around the bay, look for dolphins, and watch one of the magical sunsets on the water here in PCB.

We did the Sunset tour with Matt. It was hands down the best part of our vacation. It’s a 2 hour tour and he customized to our family. Other sunset tours don’t allow that. We used the slide and we’re taken to find star fish and crabs. And topped it off with so many dolphins and the Sunset was amazing. We really loved our experience and will definitely use him again. !

Saw dolphins and a perfect sunset, had such a great time. The boat was very nice and comfortable and being by ourselves instead of in a group was much better.

Although we were notified in advance that we needed to change the scheduled boat, the captain's service attitude was really great. The captain was also very observant. Our family is Chinese, and except for communicating with the captain, our family members' direct communication was in Chinese, but the captain could understand and meet our needs through our body language and facial expressions. He is a very good captain, so I believe that a company with such a captain will definitely provide good service. I highly recommend this shipping company!
