A perfect day with Capt Dalton and Beachy Boat Rentals! I have taken lots of trips with different companies and they were hands down the best. I had my 2 small children and my 80 year old Mother with me and Dalton helped out so much. We saw Dolphins and sea Turtles. Got to spend time on Sea Shell Island and find shells. I wish I would have booked 4 hours vs 2 hours. Will definitely use them again next year!
Capt. Dalton was attentive and kind and made sure we had a memorable afternoon. We saw dolphins and turtles.
Dalton was top notch!! We had such a wonderful time on our tour!! Would definitely book with him again!! Thanks again Dalton for making my 50th bday wish come true!!! To see dolphins and even got to see the precious sea turtles too!!!
We had an amazing experience with Beachy Boat Rentals, and a big part of it was our captain, Darin! We took a private boat trip to Shell Island for dolphin watching and sunset views, and Darin made the entire experience memorable for our family. He was extremely friendly, knowledgeable, and patient, especially with our kids. He knew exactly where to navigate to give us the best chance of seeing dolphins, while making sure we felt completely safe and comfortable throughout the trip. He also made sure we had plenty of time to enjoy Shell Island and timed the trip perfectly so we didn’t miss the beautiful Panama City Beach sunset on the way back. If you’re looking for a boat rental, Shell Island trip, or dolphin watching experience in Panama City Beach, I highly recommend Beachy Boat Rentals, and definitely ask for Captain Darin if he’s available!
Perfect! Captain Dalton was great and made the experience very fun and informational. We will absolutely do again!
We had Captain Brittany and she was fantastic! I would recommend this tour to other families. She was very accommodating to what our family was interested in seeing and doing.
We had an amazing time. Our captain was Captain Dalton and we also had the pleasure of having a second captain ride with us, Captain Skipper. Both were very knowledgeable about the wild life and the area surrounding the bay and gulf. We had 2 adults and 2 14 yr olds. We all enjoyed this experience. We saw dolphins, sea turtles, several verities of birds, and many different fish while snorkeling. All in all, a great way to spend a day or afternoon on the water in PCB. Be sure to ask for Captain Dalton!!
Our tour guide Dalton was great. He was extremely friendly and made sure we were able to experience exactly what we wanted with our time. I wish I would have booked a longer trip because 2 hours goes fast! But we were able to see Dolphins, sea turtles, stingrays, and even found some cool shells. Dalton even got out to snorkel with us to look for shells. Great tour.
Had a fantastic time using Beachy Boat Rentals for a private 2 hour boat cruise. We saw multiple dolphins and had plenty of time to explore Shell Island. Our captain was very knowledgeable of the area and provided a great experience.
This was an amazing experience. Captain Dalton was great. Friendly and knowledgeable. We had a lot of fun and would recommend to anyone. We will definitely do this again and will be requesting Captain Dalton.
