Brittany was an excellent tour guide. We had the most beautiful day & she checked off all the boxes + more that we wanted to see - dolphins, rays, sea turtle, sea sponges, birds, etc. Cant wait to come back to PCB & do it again.

Itinerary
B BY THE SEA ADVENTURES - dolphin sight seeing, snorkeling, wildlife sightings, shell hunting, and exploring the beautiful St. Andrews Bay. Dolphin sight seeing - St. Andrews Bay is home to many local dolphins. They can be seen throughout the bay. When conditions are right a snorkel and mask allow a even closer look. Snorkeling - St. Andrews Bay is full of marine wildlife. With good conditions we have all the gear for your snorkeling experience. Wildlife Sightings - Panama City is home to the popular Seagull, Pelican, Osprey, Blue Heron, Egret, and White Tail Deer. While the local deer are normally shy, they can be spotted more in the afternoon sunset cruises. The bird species are more common and will typically allow for closer camera shots. Shell Hunting - The panhandle area has a vast amount of sea shells. Hunting for these is a fun idea for the kids and even adults! St Andrews Bay Exploration - Take a ride through the Bay and see what the local area looks like. With many options available, my goal is to do what's most interesting and accommodating for my passengers. If there is something not mentioned you want to do, just let me know and I'll see if we can make it happen.

We had an amazing experience with Ms. Brittany from B by the Sea Adventures in Panama City Beach! From start to finish, she was friendly, professional, and made us feel completely welcome. Our snorkeling trip was fantastic, and we were lucky enough to see dolphins which made the experience even more memorable. The highlight of the trip, though, was how wonderful Brittany was with my daughter. She made sure she felt comfortable, included, and had an absolute blast. Seeing my daughter smile and enjoy every moment made this trip truly special. Brittany’s knowledge of the area, positive attitude, and genuine passion for what she does really set her apart. She made the entire adventure fun, relaxing, and unforgettable. I highly recommend B by the Sea Adventures to anyone visiting Panama City Beach. We wouldn’t hesitate to book with Brittany again on our next trip. Thank you for giving our family such wonderful memories!
Brittany was great... From Sea turtles to dolphins she did her best to make sure we saw it all. Kiddos loved it. Would definitely do again!
Fantastic tour! Brittany was a great guide that knew exactly where to go to be away from the larger tours. She was fantastic with kids, spending the time to teach them how to find and identify shark teeth and fish bones. She brought us snorkeling in a kid safe spot, to a beautiful beach, and to a spot frequented by sea turtles. We were lucky enough to see both the turtles and dolphins. Great private tour - highly recommend
Our original date was very cloudy and cold. She called us to see if we would like to reschedule to a warmer day. We appreciate that so much , because we planned on doing some snorkeling. Our main goal was to see some dolphins, she took us right to them. They put on an amazing show. It was the highlight of our vacation. Thanks for a wonderful experience.
Brittany was awesome with our family tour. She heard what we wanted to make it a great experience for our 7 yr old. She had dolphins come right up to the boat. She was very knowledgeable for all his questions about birds in the area. She helped our group with snorkelling tips. We couldn’t have been in better hands. Definitely recommend Brittany, and we’ll be back!
Captain Brittany was wonderful. We all had a great time, especially our children. We found shells , saw dolphins, and snorkeled. The trip was personalized and we loved the attention she paid to our children. Highly recommend Captain B.
We had an amazing trip with Capt Brittany. It was so great to have a private option vs being a part of a large tour group! Brittany was so sweet and patient with my 15 month old and made sure our whole trip was special and tailored to us.
Wonderful experience! We will definitely use B by the Sea again for our next visit. She took her time for us to see turtles and dolphins, helped my little one from a great shell. She's super sweet and very informative. 10/10 recommend.
It was an amazing experience! She was great with my three kids and did everything we wanted to do! We would definitely book with her again!
Our dolphin tour was one of the highlights of our vacation. Brittany was very welcoming and great with our kids. We saw dolphins, sea turtles, sea urchins, crabs, sea snails, all kinds of unique shells. Our kids 14, 11, and 4 haven't stopped talking about it. Even the 18 month old enjoyed it! Highly recommend and will do again if we come back to PCB!
We had the best time with Brittany! We booked very last minute and she was able to accommodate us on short notice. She even called me to chat about what kind of experience we wanted for our trip. She arrived early and helped us get settled on board. The boat was super clean and she even had some refreshments for us. We were traveling with littles and she gave us options for what we wanted to do that would be kid friendly. We got to see dolphins, a sea turtle, hermit crabs and lots of shells. She was so patient with our kiddos and gave them a shell bag and net to adventure with. We went to a private beach and got to enjoy quality time with our family. She was there to give us a great experience, but also let us have time to explore. I loved that it was just us and not a huge group. It was a great experience and I would highly recommend B by the sea adventures!
Absolutely the BEST Dolphin Tour in PCB!! The knowledge and safety of Captain Brittany is un matched. This girl knows her shells she local secret spots! Great with young kids as our kids are usually little monsters. Her patience were commendable! We will definetely do this again with her!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Incredible Family Experience! Our family had an unforgettable day on the water with Captain Brittany! From start to finish, she made the experience fun, educational, and engaging—especially for our 7-year-old daughter, who loves nature and science. Captain Brittany was incredibly patient and kind, answering ALL of our daughter’s endless questions and taking the time to explain everything in a way that made her even more excited to learn. When our daughter found some starfish and asked about keeping one, Captain Brittany did a fantastic job teaching her about respecting marine life and returning sea creatures to their natural habitat. Throughout the trip, Captain Brittany pointed out sea turtles and manta rays, making sure we didn’t miss a thing. Our daughter still talks about how much fun she had, and we couldn’t have asked for a better day on the water. If you’re looking for a family-friendly adventure with a knowledgeable and fun captain, don’t hesitate—book your trip now! You won’t regret it.
Mrs. Britney is absolutely amazing. My family and I come back to see her every year. She always knows exactly where to find the dolphins and the best snorkeling spots. She makes it a point to keep you and your family safe, especially your kids (she's great with the kids). It's worth every penny. Book it. You'll see why she has nothing but 5 star reviews.
Brittany is really friendly and fun and she is really knowledgeable of the marine life that made our trips fun 🤩😁🤩😍😁
Fun. Captain Brittany was a great guide. We had a great time shell hunting and saw many dolphins!!!!
You are crazy if you go on a snorkeling tour or dolphin tour with one of those big companies/boats when you can get a customized adventure with Captain Brittany. We had a great afternoon with her. Will definitely book again next year! Saw lots of dolphins and had plenty of time to snorkel and hunt for shells. Thanks again Brittany!
Captain Brittany and Jenna are absolutely fantastic! We had a great time snorkeling and dolphin/turtle watching. Super great ladies! Highly recommend booking with them.
Our family of six (including 7yo granddaughter) had an amazing sea adventure with Brittany and her deckhand Jenna! They were kind, helpful, and intent on providing us with the experience we wanted to have!! We saw dolphins & ospreys. We stopped at shell beach and took in the beautiful beach and found some very cool shells! The weather was not its best the day we went (rainy), but Brittany was able to figure it all out, and she got us back to the marina safe and sound! I highly recommend B By The Sea Adventures & we look forward to our next excursion!
This tour was wonderful. We had a dolphin swim right up out of the water beside the boat. Snorkeling was a lot of fun. Sunset was beautiful. Overall a really fun experience for everyone. The captain is very knowledgeable and a pro at what she does. If you are looking for a good tour, this is a must do.
Great experience! Communication was excellent - even reached out to us ahead of time to suggest a reschedule in order to avoid bad weather. Captain was friendly and professional, and she made sure that the excursion included things that we wanted to do. We saw dolphins, sea turtles, sea urchins, and more! It was our first time snorkeling, and she provided the equipment as well as lots of pointers. Friendly, professional, knowledgeable, and fun…highly recommended!
Would definitely recommend this trip. Started off watching dolphins and sea turtles. Ended the trip snorkeling in the beautiful water at shell island. Fun was had by all.
Brittany was great. If you are looking for a more private experience this is the way to go. If safety is important to you, you are not going to find anyone safer. She is out there to make sure that you get the experience you are looking for. The deal you get when making the choice to ride with Brittany is second to none. Well worth it.
Excellent would recommend to anyone. We saw dolphins and manatee. Captain was very friendly and did whatever we wanted her to do.
Wow! This trip with Capt. Brittany was unbelievable! We set out hoping to catch a glimpse of a dolphin for afar, and ended up having some up-close encounters with multiple dolphins including a baby, sea turtles, osprey, and several crabs, clams, scallops and sea urchins. Capt. Brittany was so knowledgeable, friendly, and fun and helped our family of 6 (kids range from 22yo down to 6yo) have the most memorable experience ever!
Brittany was great see made sure we saw plenty of dolphins and other sea life she also was well aware of all aspects of the Gulf She was attentive to our every need I would highly recommend her to sail with
Captain Brittany was amazing! We had the best time. We found lots of awesome shells and even found a coconut that traveled many miles across the ocean!
We have had lots of fun! She was very knowledgeable and very nice. We really enjoyed the dolphin show! I highly recommend her!
Brittany was awesome! We had so much fun on our boat trip and Brittany was an amazing guide. Highly recommend her for a fun family outing! We saw so many dolphins, a sea turtle, multiple fish, hermit crabs, urchin, scallop, and found many shells on shell island.
We had a perfect trip! A storm Stirred up as we were out, Captain B kept her eye on the radar so we could avoid the rain and still get to see everything we wanted.
We had an excellent time with Captain Brittany! Our group was 2 parents, 2 grandparents, and 2 kids. We didn’t have much of an agenda, but she had no problem making sure everyone had a good time, especially the kids! We saw big boats, visited an island and most importantly saw dolphins, including a baby!!! Captain Brittney was incredible. She is kind and patient.. our kids (2 and 3) probably asked about 300 questions, but she was able to answer them all and never even seemed a bit perturbed. I honestly learned quite a bit myself from all her answers! We feel very fortunate to have found her; it’s well worth the price! We made memories to last a lifetime. Would absolutely recommend and will be back!
Priceless memories were made! Captain B was very knowledgeable and a ray of sunshine. We say sea urchins, spider crabs, dolphins, starfish, sand dollars and our daughter had a large sting ray swim beside her. Only thing we regret is not booking longer than 2 hours.
Absolutely wonderful time! Would highly suggest you book more than 2 hours. Captain B was a great guide with so much information and she was simply a gem to spend our time with, she fit in like she was one of us! We saw dolphins, sea urchins, starfish, found sand dollars and our daughter had a sting ray swim right by her. 100/10
The Captain took us out to the island and found the perfect spot! We found so many dolphins and shells! I even found a sharks tooth! When we were snorkeling in the water we found sea urchins and starfish! Thank you Captain Brittany
Captain Brittany is fantastic!! The whole time she made us feel comfortable and safe! My 3 year old child really wanted to see dolphins. Let me tell you Captain Brittany went above and beyond. WE FOUND THE DOLPHINS! There were so many dolphins and even a sea turtle! I would definitely book with her again! Probably next week! Also, when we went to shell island Captain Brittany took us right to the shells! We found so many little shells, sand dollars and even sharks teeth! I would definitely book with her again!
We had wonderful time with our Captain Brittany who shared her wide knowledge of marine life during our 2 hr trip. We got to see so many dolphins swim alongside our boat, also saw a sea turtle which I have never seen before on so many other snorkeling trips.. Unfortunately the water was too cold to snorkel but nevertheless we had a great time, thanks to Brittany for making it fun.
Captain Britney is amazing very accommodating even rearranged times to make sure the experience was the best possible with weather conditions! If you want to see dolphins, having a great time, she makes that happen!! A must do on your vacation!!
Captain Brittany was incredibly sweet and knowledgeable. We had an amazing time. We found beautiful shells and got to see amazing dolphins. Captain Brittany and Jenna were both outstanding!
It was amazing. Mrs. Brittany was very attentive and made accommodations for our handicap needs and my kids. My youngest was terrified of even getting into the boat and ended up laughing, exploring the surroundings and learned about ocean animals. Overall

This was a great trip for us and our kids (ages 4-8). The younger kids enjoyed the shell hunting and a couple of us got to try out a little snorkeling. The captain is very professional and friendly.
Great trip! The captain and her assistant were talented and knowledgable about sea life, the area and shells. We had a special trip with our sons (7 & 5 year old).
We had a wonderful time on our dolphin cruise with Captain Brittany despite the cool, rainy weather. We were able to spot multiple dolphins in several locations throughout our trip. Our teen daughters love to shell and she took us to Shell Island where they found some treasures. Captain Brittany was so knowledgeable about the area and wildlife which made it really fun. We would highly recommend this adventure to others!
Although the weather was a little chilly we had a great time. We were able to see many dolphins and pick all kinds of awesome shells on Shell Island
It was a great experience! We had a great time! Brittany was knowledgeable, accommodating and helpful. My teenagers enjoyed themselves too which says something! Well worth it!
Thank you so much for such an awesome and memorable day! Captain Brittany was so gracious and sweet with our kids. My son loved going to Shell Island and collecting sea shells. She really caters the trip to what the client would like to do and she asked if we wanted to stay at the beach longer or ride more to look for dolphins although she had not heard of any dolphin sightings that day. As we were headed back, she took us to an area where a dolphin had been sighted and the most magical and memorable part of our day occurred. Two beautiful dolphins came right to the side of the boat! I could not believe it. They were almost close enough to touch. The kids and husband were stunned. Wonderful time! Would definitely recommend this for families and couples. Very reasonable price, undervalued even!
Brittany was nice and super friendly it was a good experience. Definitely should give it a shot if anyone hasn't.
Brittany was a great host with a clean boat. She was fun and interactive, my daughter loved her! We saw some jellies and a couple pods of dolphins. There was a storm rolling in when we went on our morning tour, but she was determined for us to see marine life. We would highly recommend her for future outings!
Brittany was so nice and patient with our littles!! It was a very relaxing trip, the boat is SUPER clean, we felt 100 percent confident in Brittany as our capitan and she was very accommodating for my elderly grandfather. 100% booking again when we come back!!
