Reviews of Panama City Beach Snorkel Trip Aboard The Footloose Catamaran

It was fun.
The crew was awesome and the boat too. Only not so good part was the weather but can't have a sunny day all the time.

Great Experience
We were a family of 11, and we all enjoyed. The crew were friendly and very helpful. The Captain even allow my husband and brother to drive the boat ( of course he was standing close lol). This was truly an amazing experience.

not worth it
When we arrived we were told by the check in person that we would be called to board. While on the waiting area I asked the person (lady) there and she said that we would be called once it was time. This was our first time so obviously I had no clue. We saw a group of people going towards the boat, and then this guy comes to us and tells us, you all need to go and board...about five minutes later. The lady that told us we would be called, said "Oh I am sorry, I got distracted, you all need to go now". Obviously the captain seemed somewhat frustrated and started yelling at us as we were walking towards the boat "come on, hurry, you are going to miss the boat, we can not be waiting for anyone" it was very embarrassing, note that we arrived 45 minutes prior to our time. Getting these awkward looks from people there waiting was horrible, and no one told the captain that it was not our fault. Although his attitude changed quickly one we started moving I was not happy that my kids got to experience that, and more so, because it was not our fault. Also not worth paying that extra for "dolphin watch" since they cant control that, no you can not swim with the dolphins, nor get close to them (if that's is what you will happen) you would be better off paying the regular shuttle, experience the same exact thing for less, and spend more time at the island. The complimentary drinks were great, and at the end my children had a blast, captain let them lead the boat which made that day memorable for them. I also think its too big of a group to be on the foot loose. we don't think we would do this again, probably opt for a more private experience. and hopefully next time we will be better guided.

Favorite vacay activity!
We so enjoyed our time with Justine and Jacob as they sailed us to Shell Island for some snorkeling! We also crossed over the island and took in the sugary sand beach on the Gulf side and the water was breath taking! Justine sailed us into the Gulf on the return trip to view some dolphins and she found us a pod of playful dolphins! We could even hear them talking to each other. This adventure was so much fun!

Amazing for families and friends
We really enjoyed being able to go exploring the island and being in the crystal clear water. Seeing dolphins up close was what we were hoping for! Overall, exceeded our expectations. The bar and grill was amazing too! Highly recommend eating afterwards!

Worth the money!
Was able to go to shell island and snorkel for over an hour. Captain Gordon and first mate Jacob were full of knowledge and polite. Saw dolphins, sea turtle, sting ray, blue crab, and a variety of fish. What a wonderful experience for our entire family!

So fun!
My husband and I spent our honeymoon week in Florida and this made for a memorable experience! Justine, Moseley, and Jaya were so kind and made the trip fun! It was so peaceful being on the water and seeing dolphins up close for the first time! We made the mistake of ordering drinks at the restaurant bar on the dock not knowing the free drink ticket only worked on the boat. Other than not a lot of direct/clear signage we had a great time and would go again!

Excellent
Captain Justine did an amazing job and made it so fun. The water was so clear and we saw at least 15 dolphins. Highly recommend doing this when in PCB.

Snorkeling Trip
Captain Justine and crewman Jacob were very professional and friendly. Trip to Shell Island was so short we only used motor to get there. Two of our party didn't arrive yet there was no room left on the catamaran...crowded to say the least. No actual shells, just pieces on the island but we did see about a dozen dolphins swimming about. Nice 3 hour get away but some actual sailing would have made it much more exciting and an excellent tour.

Snorkel trip
Overall the trip is worth the cost. Captain, crew and boat are a lot of fun. Seeing the dolphins is fun. The snorkeling is something you can do anywhere in the gulf on your own.

snorkel cruise
We couldn't have asked for better weather or a better crew! Justine and Moseley were the best! although there were no fish to see while snorkeling the dolphin we saw made up for that! and just being in that beautiful water was magical!

Worth the money
You arrive at the Excursion 45 minutes before departure. You are at a little Tiki restaurant / bar on the water where you can order good cocktails and food before you leave. Once you get on the boat they take you out where you snorkel and see lots of sea creatures as well as dolphins. We have 3 kids 8,9 and 12 and it was age appropriate for all.

Nice boat ride
This was a pleasant outing. As a novice at snorkeling, I have only snorkeled from the beach. I expected a little more of a scenic snorkeling experience than my normal beach swim. We took a nice boat ride to a shallow cove beside the jetty. No fins. Masks leaked. The crew was nice.

Snorkel Dolphin Cruise
The crew was great. We snorkeled and then found several pods of dolphins. The boat was very clean and everything was right on schedule. Would definitely do it again.

Fantastic
You’re not going to find a better group dolphin experience. Josh and Jenn were a treat. We had several close up encounters with dolphins. Lots of laughs and good conversations. Jenn sent us video of the trip that was incredible. They’re all about the wildlife and the experience. Wholeheartedly recommend.
