Captain Zach is great! - Great experience! Private trip to see dolphins UP CLOSE. Much better experience than larger boats packed with strangers. The visit to Shell Island was great where we (Captain Zach) found a shark tooth and witnessed a stunning sunset.

Fun, exciting sightseeing tour! - Captain Zach was awesome! Meet up was super easy to find. We got to see some dolphins and sea turtles on our trip. Our kids had a lot of fun snorkeling at Shell Island! They are still talking about how much fun they had. If you’re looking for a great experience on the water, Zach is your guy!

Worth every penny spent. Would definitely do this tour again. - I went out with 5 of my friends. It was an absolute blast of a time. Definitely the highlight of my trip to Panama City. Definitely would recommend this company. The Captain was very chill and she made the time great for all of us!

A highlight of our vacation - We went on Capt. Zach's adventure in the last evening of our last day in the gulf and was a highlight. My wife, and I with our two teenage daughters and two other guests boarded the skiff for the 6pm tour and it was wonderful. We saw dolphins, sea turtles, and spent times snorkeling in shallow waters at Shell island, which my younger daughter loved. Found live sand dollars, sea urchins, snails, shells, fish, plus got some great information from a marine biologists who was anchored nearby. The area is beautiful, especially at sunset when it is not as hot; it is a very relaxing tour (not a party tour) and Capt. Zach is super friendly and loves what he does. Very glad we did this. Highly recommended.

A highlight of our vacation - We took the 6pm tour on the last evening of our stay in the gulf and it was a highlight of our short vacation. Our family of 4 (2 teenagers) plus two other guests boarded the skiff boat and had a very enjoyable tour, we saw dolphins up close, sea turtles, and stopped at Shell Island for some snorkeling time in shallow waters that my daughter absolutely loved, where we saw live sand dollars, sea urchins, snails, fish, found shells and got some very interesting facts from a marine biologists who was anchored nearby. It is a beautiful area, particularly at sunset when it is not as hot, and the tour was super relaxing, a nature tour, not a party tour. Capt. Zach is great, super friendly and loves what he does. Very highly recommended!
