Captain & Comedian - Lyric was an awesome! As a self proclaimed comedian he kept the jokes coming. He anchored us on a secluded pristine beach where we were able to swim & snorkel. He even flagged down an ice cream boat for us!!!

Perfect party cruise for our bachelor/bachelorette group! - Our group had the BEST time! We were there for a bachelor/bachelorette trip and decided to do the 3 hour snorkel/ beach cruise. Everyone had so much fun! Captain John and Captain Angie were absolutely amazing and so knowledgeable! Next time I’m in Panama City I will definitely be booking again! Thanks for an amazing time!

Wonderfully Fun Experience at a Decent Price! - Super fun experience! Captain Steven and his wife were very sweet and informative, A+ hosts. My husband & I started out with a family of 4 (2 of them children) on our tiki. Unfortunately we had nothing in common with this family. We floated next to another tiki with Captain David and a group of 3 fun individuals closer to our age, with similar interests. We hung out with them at the beach and asked to transfer to their tiki. The Captains were happy to oblige and even helped us move our belongings to the new tiki! Captain David was awesome as well, and the group of 3 were much more our speed. We had a blast! We met some great friends that day & had so much fun on the tikis with Captain David & group! Will definitely do this tour again!

Great way to end our trip to PCB - Great day with Captain Edward cruisin over to shell island in the most unique floating tiki bar. Edward was entertaining and knowledgeable on the local sea life. Several dolphins came to check us out, had refreshing swim looking for shells and held a sea urchin…

Best day in Panama - For our girls trip, this was great time! We had a blast and Captain D (Dalton) is an absolute must to have if hes available, snatch him up!! He made us feel safe, made sure we found the dolphins and was so fun to hang out with. He went above and beyond to make sure we had the best day! The owner was great about answering all our questions while booking and all around recommended from us. Thank you so much, until next time 😎

Anniversary Celebration - It was a great experience. We really wanted to see shell island but could not get there that day. We stopped on a sand bar and hung out. It was fun. Lyric was our captain and we had a great experience with him as well.
