Itinerary
Your 1.5-hour experience aboard our 52-foot catamaran Privateer will begin with a scenic cruise through Grand Lagoon. Your experienced captain and crew will be on the lookout for dolphins so you may experience the thrill of seeing these magnificent animals as they play in their natural habitat.
Dolphin sightings happen often; however, they are not guaranteed as we cannot predict the location and activities of the wildlife. Whether we sail in the serene St. Andrews Bay past Shell Island or in the shimmering waters of the Gulf of Mexico, your adventure will be filled with excitement and anticipation. Sailing in Panama City Beach is a breathtaking experience. Together, we’ll responsibly look for dolphins to observe in their natural playground where they swim, play and feed.
A treasure trove of delights awaits your visit to SV Privateer’s onboard bar to enjoy refreshing beverages and snacks, including specialty cocktails like the Privateer Punch! Please note our bar accepts debit/credit card transactions only.

We had an amazing time on our ride to see the dolphins. They are so beautiful! It was our first time on a catamaran and the trip was so refreshing and peaceful. Our captain, Mike, and Conner are very good at making sure everyone is comfortable and has a good time. We would highly recommend this company. Booking and checkin was a breeze. The lady who checked us in was super cool and knowledgeable. We’re sure you’ll be happy you went with them. Thanks to all of them!

Incredible experience. Took our family of 7 out for my son’s 4th bday. The crew made it extra special by playing some birthday songs for him and the whole boat sang. Saw many dolphins!
