Daydreams Come True: Private Luxury 47' Beneteau

We booked the Private Snorkel Sail aboard 47' Daydreams with Captain Jacob and Nico for a 1:30PM tour on August 10th. The time of year / day you book will make a profound difference in your experience with increased crowds at the peak of summer, water temps, and the various species of wildlife you'll happen upon. We enjoyed a more open, quieter beach with our trip, but later in the season the jellyfish start drifting toward the coast. It was very enjoyable this time of year. The walk to the docks is a little lengthy. We had a grandmother who made the walk both ways, but they did offer a wheelchair if needed. The dock was very sturdy and seemed fairly new. The staff at the docks were extremely helpful and friendly. There were 10 of us in total which made for a very comfortable trip in and out of the bay. This was my first time on a sailboat and I can't wait to get on another one. The boat comes fully stocked with water, alcohol, soda, juice, and light snacks. They also carry large floatation noodles and a paddle board which was extremely fun to maneuver on. There is plenty of overhead coverage to protect from the sun but I sat on the bow of the ship enjoying the sun for the first part of the trip. There was a small pod of dolphins to greet us immediately on our way out. They spent about 30-45 minutes around us even as we made our way out toward the island where we snorkeled and enjoyed the water. This was also my first time snorkeling. We got to see a few and touch a few cabbage head (non-stinging) jellyfish, a very few moon jellyfish (they make seasonal appearance around mid August into September and I saw no more than 4 on this excursion), hundreds of small to medium sized fish, hermits, larger crabs, sand dollars, and so much more. Captain Jacob was extremely knowledgeable about the different kinds of wildlife we encountered, sharing tidbits of information and wisdom along the way. Nico and Jacob were both incredibly friendly, funny, and a pleasure to be around. We had a young one on board who was initially apprehensive, but their enthusiasm and assurances put her at ease and made this a memorable excursion for everyone. 11/10 would recommend this tour!

We did the half day excursion to Shell Island on June 12, 2025. We went on the Daydreams sailboat which was really nice. Went snorkeling, saw dolphins, and collected seashells. Our Captain, Jacob and First Mate, Chelsea were awesome and very informative. Chelsea was so good with our granddaughter who is two years old and even let her to pretend to drive the boat which she loved. I highly recommend this boat!

We had an incredible sunset sail with Jacob and Chelsea on the Daydreams. Everything was ideal. The weather was fantastic, views were breathtaking, the dolphins showed out, the sailboat was wonderful and the staff were a blast. HIGHLY recommend booking a sail with them.

We had a great experience on the sunset dolphins cruise. Crew was really nice. Free drinks. Really cool experience to be on a sailboat.

So good we booked again! We booked a 3 hour tour on the Daydreams monohull sailboat and had so much fun we booked a sunset cruise the next day! I am a sailboat lover and my family caught the bug too after this. We saw massive pods of dolphins, a sea turtle, learned local info and they even raised the sails so we could experience “smooth sailing”. The staff was as amazing as the boat! Regardless of gray weather we still got to enjoy our weekend at the beach- and being aboard Daydreams was the highlight. Special thanks to Captains Jacob and Kegan and First mate Ashely! Y’all are awesome. 👏

Went for the three hour tour and then booked the two hour sunset tour the following day. Very intimate, fun, lots of dolphin sightings, enjoyed the crew and sailboat experience. Highly recommend.

We went on a private sailboat tour! It was amazing! Shout out to our captain and first mate- Jacob and Ashley!!!

Jacob and Ashley were amazing on our sunset sailboat tour. We will highly recommend Paradise Adventures because of their outstanding service. We loved them so much and loved the amazing sunset tour. I give them both 10 stars! Thank you so much Ashley and Jacob!!!

Absolutely Incredible Experience with Paradise Adventures! We booked a private sailboat charter with Paradise Adventures PCB, and it was hands down the highlight of our trip! Captain Jacob and Deckhand Ashley were absolutely fantastic. Their knowledge of the area, the ocean, and local wildlife made the entire experience so engaging and memorable. It was the perfect way to end the wedding celebration of our friends and truly made the trip feel extra special. From the moment we stepped aboard, they made us feel completely at ease and customized the experience perfectly to what we wanted. Whether it was exploring, sailing, or just relaxing, everything felt seamless and personal. Their energy and professionalism made this adventure one of a kind. If you’re visiting Panama City Beach, do yourself a favor and book the private sail with Jacob and Ashley. You won’t regret it!

We had the most amazing trip around the gulf and bay with Capt Jacob and Keagan on Daydream sailboat. They were incredibly friendly and experienced with great communication, resulting in the best sail trip with our friends!
