Beachy Boat Rentals is a Panama City Beach-based boat rental company specializing in guided tours and self-drive pontoon rentals around Shell Island and St. Andrews Bay. The company offers a range of experiences including two-hour snorkel excursions, two-hour and three-hour dolphin tours, half-day and full-day charters with a captain, and several pontoon rental options for groups up to twelve passengers. Boats include new Tri-Toon models and pristine pontoon boats equipped with safety gear and Bluetooth radios.
Captains are described as knowledgeable and experienced, guiding guests to prime snorkeling sites, dolphin viewing areas, and local highlights.

Activities include snorkeling, dolphin watching, island exploration, and sunset cruises offered on select departures.
