We are locals and decided to take this trip on a whim. We are a family of 4 with 2 kids ages 4 and 1. The trip was full, but it wasnt so full that you couldnt move like other boats. The other customers were courteous and allowed us to move about the boat as needed. The trip started off with a leisurely cruise through the Grand Lagoon. The captain gave some history of the area and pointed out some landmarks. Once we got outside the pass, the dolphins were ALL OVER!!! We stayed with a pod of about 15 dolphin for about 20 minutes. They were eating so it was exciting to see them chase the fish. The captain made sure to keep it interesting by providing plenty of facts about dolphin (Did you know they get their daily water intake by eating fish?). We got several close up pictures and video. My daughter couldnt believe how many dolphins we saw! After the lengthy dolphin viewing, the captain took us for a coastline cruise and pointed out more landmarks along with history - He even allowed the kids to drive the boat and most of them had a blast! Towards the end, we had one more surprise, which I call the "Grand Finale". He got the dolphin to jump waves and we had them doing this on 2 different runs! It was the highlight of the trip!!! The key to having a good trip is to keep the kids entertained and the crew did this by doing many different activities. We will definitely be back again!

We did the dolphin and snorkeling tour. Our experience was very good and I would highly recommend it to anyone. The captain and deckhand were nice and helpful. The boat was well maintained and all the snorkeling gear was in great shape. We did 2 stops, the first one was in a 4-5 area of water on backside of Shell Island that was loaded with Sea Urchins, crabs, hermit crabs, sand dollars, and other sea life which were easy to observe and collect. The 2nd location was on front side by the rocks and although beautiful to view the constant swells made it hard to do any collecting. We did stop to observe a pod of dolphins. Snacks and drinks were available and were cheap $1 and $2. Overall pleasant experience. I rate it 4.5 stars not 5 as I expected we were going to go a bit faster when we were heading out to the location or at least somewhere they would have turned it up some but we didnt experience the "screaming" portion of the name.

I took my wife on this cruise for her birthday. We did the 3pm cruise the lasted 2 hours. It was great!! The guys on board are very helpful, and tell you about the area as they drive the boat around. Drinks on board, and theyll bring em right to your seat! We saw so many dolphins, up close, the captain really knows where to find them. He was also able to get the dolphins to "surf" behind the boat! It was awesome!! I am local, and work in a beach shop on front beach Rd... anyone who asks me what I would recommend doing for fun, I always tell them to take a dolphin cruise on the sea screamer!! Its well worth the money, for a 2 hour ride. We will definitely be returning, maybe for a sunset cruise next time. ☺☺☺☺☺

We went on the sunset cruise (6pm) on a Wed night and had a great time. They have bottled water, some soft drinks, Bud Light, and their homemade Rum Punch. Snacks were just CheezIts and Goldfish crackers (maybe something else, not sure). They do have restrooms. They have a small cannon on the very front that they fire during the middle of the cruise. Also I wouldnt plan on doing too much strenuous activity afterwards. You mostly stand the whole time (by choice) and afterwards you may feel worn out like we did. It was a great time and well probably do it again the next time were in Panama City.

7-22-17 My family was on the 12-2 boat ride. The rum punch was everything. The only disappointment was I didnt get to take pictures of the dolphins,but the Captain showed us a dolphin riding the waves behind the boat. The Captain and his First Mate were very friendly. The Captain let people take turns stearing the boat that was really cool. At the end of the tour the Captain took pictures with each member of my family that wanting one. If I ever go back to Panama City I would definitely do it again.

We had a blast last night on the Sunset Dolphin Tour. We saw a couple of dolphins swimming in the lagoon. The captain of the ship was excellent; he knew the ins and outs of the area. Due to the rough waters, we had to turn around & didnt see much dolphins besides in the beginning. Bummer, but safety first. They took us on an alternative route which was great too. The boat tour had a lot of great activities for the kids! Definitely recommend this tour company!

Our trip on the Sea Screamer, Panama City Beach, yesterday was the best time for us and our 3 grandchildren. It was not as commercial as other cruises, very laid back, and relaxing. Cody and Caleb were great and made the trip fun and enjoyable. we definately got our moneys worth. Where else can you get soft drinks for a buck!!! So patient and accommodating for kids too! Highly recommend anyone young or old to take the dolphin cruise.

Capt Cody and first mate Ben are Awesome. We did the dolphin tour and it was fantastic. We had a very small bunch less than 40 so it was more intimate. I would suggest that everyone take the time and go for a cruise with them. Also remember to get some of mamas rum punch you will not be disappointed. Thanks guys you rocked and the dolphins were amazing. Loved the water gun battle with the sea screamer 2. Cant wait until next time.

My wife and I decided to hop on board at spur of the moment. We are both so glad we did. Cpt. Cody was very knowledgeable about the area pointing out an old ship wreck by St Andrews St park and telling stories about various landmarks and condos along our route. The highlight of the trip was the many dolphins we saw and seeing the dolphins play and jump in our wake. I highly recommend any trip aboard the Sea Screamer.

This was the highlight of my birthday trip to panama city beach. on 7/15/17 we had great weather, everyone was friendly and made the whole 2 hours full of fun. it didnt even seem like the trip was 2hrs. I got great pics and me and my family really enjoyed ourselves. for the price I would do it again. I would recommend this this cruise to anyone going to panama and needs an activity to do. its for kids and adults.

ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!! We had the best time on the sunset cruise! Seen many dolpins as Captain Cody took his time in helping us find them! We also got to enjoy the fireworks show...which was spectacular!! All the kiss got to take turns driving the boat which they all loved. Noah was very helpful and gave all the kids dolphin tattoos!! We will definitely be doing this again!! Thank you SEA SCREAMER STAFF!!
