Lagoon Pontoons is a Panama City Beach boat tour and rental company specializing in family-friendly dolphin tours, guided jet ski adventures, and easy-to-operate pontoon rentals. Operating out of St. Andrews Bay, the company offers intimate 2-hour and 3-hour Shell Island dolphin boat tours for small groups, guided 2-hour jet ski excursions, and a selection of pontoon boats for half- and full-day rentals.
Each guided tour includes an experienced captain who knows the best local spots for dolphin sightings, snorkeling, and sand-dollar hunting. Tours are designed to be flexible and family-focused: guests can swim with dolphins, snorkel in clear water, and explore the scenic Shell Island coastline. For self-guided options, Lagoon Pontoons provides a fleet of pontoons—including 90 HP tritoons with double Bimini tops and 24ft pontoons—equipped with Bluetooth stereos and full safety gear. Most pontoons accommodate up to 12 passengers and include fuel and safety equipment as part of the rental.
Safety and convenience are core priorities: safety gear is provided, captains are trained and local, and rental options are available as half-day or full-day to suit different plans. Whether guests want a guided wildlife experience or the freedom of captaining their own pontoon or jet ski, Lagoon Pontoons focuses on straightforward bookings, clear safety instructions, and memorable days on the water around Shell Island and St. Andrews Bay.
