This was one of the best excursions we’ve had in a while (my partner and I have a good handful under our belt!). You cannot pass up a sunset sailing experience, but to have it also capped at 6 guests when most other boating experiences are 30-60 people was just our vibe—quiet and relaxing. We felt that having such a “solo” feeling sailing experience to enjoy with each other was absolutely worth the price and that it was priced very fairly for the kind of experience that it was! We got to see dolphins up close, view a beautiful sunset and sail around the scenic St. Andrew’s Park, Shell Island and nearby areas of the Gulf Coast. The crew members were not only kind but knowledgeable/great at what they were doing, from guest experience to boating and marine knowledge, which also amplified our experience. 10/10 will book again when in the area again.
We took this cruise for our 43 Anniversary! Mike and Kelly were the best! They made my husband’s dream come true. When Mike found out that my husband wants to get his sailing license he let him steer the boat. They knew right where to take us for the perfect snorkeling experience. Book this trip anytime you visit Panama City Beach!
Happy 43rd Anniversary! We love that your husband got to live out his sailing dream! ⛵️ We're so glad you both had such a special day with us and hope to see you again soon. ♥️
We went on the sunset dolphin Daydreams sailboat tour and had a fantastic time. The crew were very professional and friendly (co-captain Kelly was awesome!!) and put us right next to several pods of dolphins. As usual the sunset was spectacular and looked just like the pictures on their website. This was the highlight of our entire trip. It was fun, adventurous, relaxing, and very pretty. If you are on the fence definitely pick this excursion.
Thank you so much for the great review! We’re thrilled this was the highlight of your trip! We hope to have you back out with us again soon! ♥️
I give this experience at 10 out of 10. If you are wondering if it is worth it to pay a little more to have a small sailboat versus one of the big tour boats, wonder no more. You will not regret booking this trip! We were up close with the Dolphins, and Liz and Jacob made the experience even better. Their hospitality and genuine thoughtfulness as they got to know us during the two hour ride made this trip even more memorable. Thanks, Liz and Jacob!
Thank you so much for the amazing review! We’re so glad you had such a memorable time with Liz and Jacob and got to see dolphins too! We hope to see you again next time you're in town. ♥️
Jacob and Kelly take finding dolphins seriously! We a number of them close to our boat! The small group experience with only 6 on ‘Daydreams’ versus 40-50 on a catamaran was wonderful. It was very windy and they made sailing look easy and smooth. Even with clouds the sunset Ames gorgeous! This was our second time with Paradise Adventures and I will definitely do it again!
We love to hear it! Thank you so much for choosing us again and we hope to see you for round 3 soon! ♥️
Comfortable, personalized sail in a beautiful bay with gorgeous views of the sunset. Plentiful champagne.
Thank you so much, Kathy! We're so glad you enjoyed sailing on the Daydreams and the champagne! 🥂 We hope to have you back out next time you're in town! ♥️
The Daydreams sailboat was an awesome ride along with Captain Mike and Co Captain Kelly who were extremely professional and knowledgeable of the area and found many schools of dolphins to view.
Thank you for the wonderful review, Bill! We're so glad you had an awesome ride and got to see so many dolphins with Captain Mike and Kelly. We hope to welcome you back again soon! ♥️
Fantastic experience. Jacob and Liz were awesome and treated us like royalty. The boat was spotless and our drink offering was more than we expected. I would definitely do this again. We saw a lot of dolphins and sting rays. The sunset while under sail was incredible
Thanks for the wonderful feedback, Mark! We’re so happy you enjoyed the sailing experience, wildlife sightings and sunset views. We hope to see you back on board again soon! ⛵️
Mike and Kelly were wonderful on this sunset sailboat cruise! They were extremely accommodating the entire time! I highly recommend doing this and I hope Mike and Kelly are the ones to take you out!
We’re thrilled you had such a great experience on your sunset cruise and truly appreciate your recommendation! We hope to see you again soon for another amazing trip! ♥️
