Island Time Sailing

Island Time Sailing operates two catamarans, the Island Time and the Island Time II, offering a variety of public and private cruises from Grand Lagoon to the Gulf of Mexico and St. Andrews Bay. Trips include 2‑hour sunset and dolphin-watch sails and 3‑hour Shell Island snorkel and dolphin cruises. Guests can choose private sunset or private Shell Island charters aboard either vessel, or book shared excursions that combine snorkeling for seashells, stand-up paddleboarding, water‑slide access, and beach time on Shell Island.
On the water, passengers search for dolphins, watch Gulf sunsets, snorkel around St. Andrews Bay, and wade onto Shell Island. Music, dancing, and games are featured on return cruises; some departures include fireworks viewing. Experiences emphasize relaxed island fun for families, couples, and groups seeking memorable coastal adventures.
Island Time Sailing’s fleet and trip roster are focused on accessible, short-format outings: most sails last two to three hours, with clear options for private charters or shared group experiences. Amenities highlighted in trip descriptions include paddleboards, a water slide, snorkel opportunities, and upbeat onboard music.
The operation’s trip list and vessel names are presented transparently: specific cruises are identified by name, duration, and activity, including Private Sunset Cruise, Sunset & Dolphin Watch Sailing Cruise, Shell Island Snorkel Cruise, Shell Island & Dolphin Watch Sailing Cruise, Private Shell Island Cruise, and Fireworks Cruise. Reservations accommodate private groups and public bookings for guests seeking dolphin sightings, Shell Island exploration, snorkeling, paddleboarding, or a Gulf sunset cruise.
