Paradise Adventures

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!

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

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 had such a fantastic time on the tiki boat tour! The vibe was fun, relaxing, and perfect for a sunny day out on the water. We actually booked two trips cause the first one was so amazing!! Trevor and Trey were absolutely amazing, friendly, and made sure we were comfortable the whole time, they even recommended spots here in pcb for us to eat. They also helped us spot dolphins very easily! Whether you’re celebrating something or just want a unique way to enjoy the water, I highly recommend this tour. Can’t wait to do it again! Would 10/10 recommend to anyone!!

Our family went on the Tiki Boat Sunset Tour that Paradise rentals offers and I have to say it was probably the most FUN I've had on a boat and never on a Tiki boat! The middle is set up like a bar, we had our drinks, were jamming to the music while cruising around, there were dolphins all around us the whole time, it was just epic! Our tour guides were just fantastic, funny and very attentive to us all, ones name was Jordan and another gentleman I apologize I forgot his name but it was on the Friday 08/22 6:00 p.m. tiki sunset tour. They deserve all the praise seriously because they made it memorable! 🐬 The sunset was in the background, it was just a totally surreal, awesome experience!!👌 A MUST DO IN PCB!!!

We had the best time on the tiki tour with Captain Trever and co captain AJ. We was a bachelorette party of 7 and had the time of our lives! Will definitely be back on our next PCB visit!!

Mr. Trevor and Ms. Marcie were wonderful and knowledgeable about the area. They were even able to give us insight to the carriers that came into port. We thoroughly enjoyed our tiki tour. We saw a ton of playful dolphins and the sunset was unbeatable! My husband and I met some wonderful people that we were able to enjoy our time with. I would 100% recommend this tour.

Trevor and Jordan did an amazing job on our tiki tour ride… I had a blast!

My husband treated me to a catamaran sailing excursion for our 15 year anniversary. Due to the catamaran having been rented out for a private function the day of our anniversary we had to enjoy it a day early. The crew was great. Mike, Chelsea and Jess did a great job point things out, informing us of facts with the marine life we were seeing and creating our refreshments to enjoy. Thank you for the beautiful experience.

We were on the Tiki Boat Sunset Tour last night with Trevor and Chelsea, they were outstanding!!! We will definitely be booking another adventure with this crew!!

We enjoyed our excursion on the Paradise Adventures Catamaran. It was very convenient being next to our resort. The check-in lady was very friendly and helpful. We went sailing, saw playful dolphins, snorkeling, paddlle boating, and swam on the inflatable water park at Shell Island. They offered us 1 free beverages and relaxing music. The all female crew was amazing! They even let our grandson drive the boat. What a fun day! Enjoyed every moment!

Had a amazing time time definitely recommend taking the sunset tiki tour our tour guide Marcy and Jordan was awesome and help us experience a one in a life time experience

We had a wonderful excursion on the Footloose catamaran. We saw over one hundred dolphins. The captain and mate were very informative and genuinely friendly. Some of the dolphins were not afraid to come up to the catamaran. A friend of Paradise Adventures in a fast fishing boat did some fast wide circles around our catamaran creating a large wake for the dolphins to surf/wake ride in, it was fantastic to see the dolphins surfing and jumping in the wake of that boat.

The sunset sail on the privateer catamaran was awesome. We had the honor to have an all woman crew and they did a fantastic job. We did see plenty of dolphins and a beautiful sunset which was expected. What impressed me the most was how our sail and the competitors boats all worked together to make waves for the dolphins. Our captain did a great job getting us in there to see the dolphins jumping. She could put the boat anywhere she wanted. You could tell she was very experienced at being a captain and loved what she does. The deckhands also did a wonderful job helping the captain and making sure the guests were taken care of. A big thank you to all three of you for a fantastic job

The tiki boat tour with Trevor & Aiden was a 100/10. An unforgettable experience. We saw so many dolphins and gulf sea life. Very professional and safe staff. Would recommend to anyone traveling on vacation that wants a nice sunset tour. 🙌🏼

We had a blast aboard the Footloose catamaran sunset tour. Captain Marci and Jamie were fantastic, friendly, and knowledgeable. We saw so many dolphins, enjoyed calm waters, and a gorgeous sunset view. Jamie told us how the cargo ship would likely attract jumping dolphins and sure enough they put on quite the show. To top it off, that rum punch hits hard 😂 Thanks for the great time!

Thanks Mike, Nico, and Jess for my awesome first experience on a catamaran. I appreciate your attentiveness and great sense of humor as we sailed across the bay. Your play list was on point and catching the sights of the dolphins were beautiful. And the sunset was amazing❤️! I am soooo looking forward to doing this again next year🤩👌🏾.

The sunset cruise we took was amazing. Captain Mike and his crew did a great job. The Privateer was the catamaran we took. As we headed out of the marina we went to see some dolphins. There were quite a few and they hung out with us for awhile before Captain Mike decided it was time to move on and get to a point where we could drop the sails. I personally loved the feeling of the ship under sail but the Gulf was a little choppy that day and those without sea legs may want to think twice about having alcohol before or during the cruise. We had live music the day we went-sorry forgot the guy's name-but he was great. Mike and the entire crew went out of their way to make sure everyone had a great time. Thanks for everything and fair winds Cap.

Captain and first mate were excellent and the adventure was a perfect experience for my family. My eight year old enjoyed riding in the front of the catamaran and finding shells and fish while snorkeling. We also had a great encounter with a pod of dolphins. For adults, the beverages were also quite nice.

I recently took the Paradise Adventures Catamaran Sunset Tour, and it was absolutely breathtaking! From the moment we set sail, the crew made us feel welcome and ensured we had everything we needed for a fantastic experience. The views during the sunset were nothing short of magical! Watching the sun dip below the horizon while sipping on a refreshing drink was the perfect way to unwind. The catamaran was spacious and comfortable, allowing everyone to enjoy the scenery without feeling crowded. The crew shared interesting stories about the area and even played some great music that added to the vibe. If you’re looking for a memorable evening on the water, I highly recommend this tour! It’s a must-do if you’re in the area! 🌅🚤✨

The catamaran tour did not disappoint. The only disappointment was when it ended. I highly recommend. We went as a family with our daughter and grandson and had a blast. It would also be fun to do if you're in party mode with your friends. Great music, vibes, drinks and a fun crew Captain Mike and first Mate Jaya were amazing. Will definitely be doing this again next year.

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

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!

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!

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. 👏

Absolutely wonderful boat tour and snorkeling! Fantastic! Trey and Trevor were the absolute best! We received a call this morning that the sailboat we had booked for a private tour had a mechanical issue due to a lightning storm. The person who called us was extremely kind and gave us other options. We took the offer to take a tiki boat that included snorkeling. Since our other private tour included drinks, they also were so kind to still provide that for us, even though it’s not typically provided on the tiki tour. Trey and Trevor were so kind, friendly, and helpful. They definitely made the trip fun and relaxing. I had my two sons with me and two of their friends, and they had an absolute blast! They completely accommodated our group to what we were looking to do. I’m not sure other companies would be so accommodating, but everyone we interacted with made sure we had a very fun experience. The boys got to go, snorkeling, blast their music, and have drinks on the boat. I got to explore Shell Island a little bit and get some seashells. We also got to see lots of dolphins along the way. Great day for everyone! Thank you, Trey and Trevor!!! This was definitely the highlight of our trip! Thank you! ☀️🏝️

I enjoy my tiki boat tour with Trevor and tray and the turn up was real I highly suggest everyone to booked this tour❤️🎉🎉🎉 …

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 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!

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!!!
