Can’t say enough great things about PCB Prestige Private Dolphin & Snorkel Tours with Captain Justin! First, the boat is beautiful, spacious and comfortable. He took us out in front of Shell Island, crystal clear water and dolphins swam right under us! Then we saw a sea turtle and snorkeled in the bay. We found all kinds of critters, including a sea cucumber and sand dollars. This was the highlight of our trip!
Victoria Fanucci
This was easily the best private boat charter in Panama City Beach. The boat was clean, comfortable, and had a bathroom on board.  We saw dolphins and a turtle off in the first hour, and spent time snorkeling near Shell Island in beautiful clear water. Captain Justin provided a first-class experience from start to finish.
Garrett Daniels
This was one of the best days ever! Justin took us out and we swam with wild dolphins, which was absolutely incredible. Then he took us snorkeling and we saw a sea turtle, many different colorful fish, an eagle ray, sand dollars and so much more. Justin was extremely knowledgeable about the marine life. The boat is beautiful and well maintained. I felt safe and we made the best memories!
