My husband and I booked this during our 5 year wedding anniversary trip and this experience was beyond expectations. We had Mike and Liz as our guides and they were experienced sailers and very personable. If we had another evening available we should have done this again. This was also a great choice for a couple as there was 6 people max so it was relaxing. 10/10 experience.

Two hour tour with breathtaking views, so many dolphins, drinks, snacks, the engine cut and just sailing! Truly an amazing experience! Captain Jacob and Bosun Kelly are the perfect time for an experience of a lifetime!
This was one of the best excursions we’ve had in a while (my partner and I have a good handful under our belt!). You cannot pass up a sunset sailing experience, but to have it also capped at 6 guests when most other boating experiences are 30-60 people was just our vibe—quiet and relaxing. We felt that having such a “solo” feeling sailing experience to enjoy with each other was absolutely worth the price and that it was priced very fairly for the kind of experience that it was! We got to see dolphins up close, view a beautiful sunset and sail around the scenic St. Andrew’s Park, Shell Island and nearby areas of the Gulf Coast. The crew members were not only kind but knowledgeable/great at what they were doing, from guest experience to boating and marine knowledge, which also amplified our experience. 10/10 will book again when in the area again.
We took this cruise for our 43 Anniversary! Mike and Kelly were the best! They made my husband’s dream come true. When Mike found out that my husband wants to get his sailing license he let him steer the boat. They knew right where to take us for the perfect snorkeling experience. Book this trip anytime you visit Panama City Beach!
We went on the sunset dolphin Daydreams sailboat tour and had a fantastic time. The crew were very professional and friendly (co-captain Kelly was awesome!!) and put us right next to several pods of dolphins. As usual the sunset was spectacular and looked just like the pictures on their website. This was the highlight of our entire trip. It was fun, adventurous, relaxing, and very pretty. If you are on the fence definitely pick this excursion.
I give this experience at 10 out of 10. If you are wondering if it is worth it to pay a little more to have a small sailboat versus one of the big tour boats, wonder no more. You will not regret booking this trip! We were up close with the Dolphins, and Liz and Jacob made the experience even better. Their hospitality and genuine thoughtfulness as they got to know us during the two hour ride made this trip even more memorable. Thanks, Liz and Jacob!
Jacob and Kelly take finding dolphins seriously! We a number of them close to our boat! The small group experience with only 6 on ‘Daydreams’ versus 40-50 on a catamaran was wonderful. It was very windy and they made sailing look easy and smooth. Even with clouds the sunset Ames gorgeous! This was our second time with Paradise Adventures and I will definitely do it again!
Comfortable, personalized sail in a beautiful bay with gorgeous views of the sunset. Plentiful champagne.
The Daydreams sailboat was an awesome ride along with Captain Mike and Co Captain Kelly who were extremely professional and knowledgeable of the area and found many schools of dolphins to view.
Fantastic experience. Jacob and Liz were awesome and treated us like royalty. The boat was spotless and our drink offering was more than we expected. I would definitely do this again. We saw a lot of dolphins and sting rays. The sunset while under sail was incredible
Mike and Kelly were wonderful on this sunset sailboat cruise! They were extremely accommodating the entire time! I highly recommend doing this and I hope Mike and Kelly are the ones to take you out!
Jacob and Liz were fantastic guides that made the trip relaxing and enjoyable. I would highly recommend them.
The sailboat Dreamscape is beautiful and the crew are amazing. It was a great experience. The sunset and dolphin watching were awesome.
Your team, Chelsea and Jason, showed us a great time as we were able to see a lot of dolphins, a deer on Shell Island, and a nice sunset under the sails. We'll done team
Jacob and Ashley made our trip exceptional! Their professionalism, and kindness were top notch. They truly worked hard to make our experience memorable and fantastic!
Complimentary beverages and snacks. No need to bring anything. No shoes on the yacht. Amazing trip with excellent captains. We loved the sailboat experience.
This was the perfect ending to a perfect week at the beach. A beautiful relaxed cruise at sunset. Jacob and Ashley were friendly and easy to communicate with and wanted to make our trip perfect. The boat was large enough to be comfortable but small enough to be personal. Only six people per trip make you feel like a VIP. Well worth the trip.
This was by far one of my most favorite experiences. My mother and I have ever had. I will go again most definitely it was incredible… Jacob and Ashley were amazing. I will probably book in a week or two again that’s how much I loved it.
The sunset sail was a great experience. Ashley and Jacob were amazing. They took their time with us. The sailboat was nice. It was relaxing and fun. We were able to see several dolphins. We had a great time. I will book with Paradise Adventures again.
Captain Jacob and his first mate were great! We had a lovely evening and would highly recommend them.
Loved this sunset cruise - Nico and Jacob were wonderful hosts! There are several other sunset cruise options, however this one is more private (6 total guests), and offers complimentary wine, beer, and drinks.
We will do this again! Jacob and Ashley were great hosts and ensured we had a great experience. Kudos!
We booked the daydreams boat. This sunset cruise was absolutely breathtaking. Watching the sails go up, the dolphins swimming around, and even the captains made it fun and welcoming!! Not to mention watching the full moon come up on the water…
What a wonder experience and Surprise! Our precious Audrey surprised Danny and I for our 41st Anniversary. Captain Jacob and his first mate Ashley were truly amazing. Ashley was the Hostess with the Mostest. She was eager to serve drinks and snacks and told us to make ourselves at home. Jacob was our Captain and was very personable and answered any question's we had. The Dolphins were fun to watch. It was a wonderful relaxing experience. I would do this again in a heart beat!
It’s a wonderful excursion for a smaller group. It is unique in that it is a yacht and has full sails. Jason and Ashley were wonderful crew. Jason was the Captain and Ashley the 1st Mate. They are very professional and fun at the same time. I f you are wanting something a little more intimate than the standard catamaran cruise this excursion is for you.
The experience was exceptional! We will do it every time we are in town! We had the boat to ourselves so it felt like we had a privately chartered boat ride to watch a beautiful sunset with some frisky dolphins along for the ride!
This sail was by far my favorite, Captain Jacob and Ashley did an amazing job explaining everything. The sail was super calm. We were able to see a lot of dolphins jump in the air and give us a great show. Will definitely recommend taking this sail. We will be going back for sure.
My husband and I celebrated my birthday evening with a sunset cruise with our Captain Jacob and Mate Ashley along with another couple. It was a beautiful evening and Jacob and Ashley shared local history and details about the boat. A beautiful sunset and absolutely worth it! We will definitely do this again!
Got to see dolphins and got engaged, it was a great experience and I would recommend this trip to anyone!
We had a fantastic evening on the sailboat, captained by Jacob and his talented first mate (whose name began with a “K”—sorry I didn’t catch it!). We saw plenty of dolphins, enjoyed a stunning sunset, and sipped on great drinks. I highly recommend the Daydreams Sunset Sail—an unforgettable experience!
This excursion was very relaxing and enjoyable! I highly recommend Jacob and Jamie. They made us feel so welcome and the 2 hours flew by
Most excellent sail! The captains were knowledgeable and helpful. Shared info about the area, the boat and sea life. They had a great sense of humor too. The boat is beautiful and comfortable. I recommend this serene excursion to anyone wanting a relaxing sailboat experience.
We had the best time on the sailboat with Ashley and Jacob. We were warmly greeted by Ashley ( our first mate) to start our evening. Then Jacob greeted everyone. We sat on the front of the boat and had the most fabulous views! Thank you for a very romantic evening g out.
Wow, great experience! Worth every penny. We did the sunset sail on the daydreamer. Easy sail, lots of dolphins and nice to be a small group. Jacob & Ashley were a wonderful crew - they know the boat and area well, and seem like they truly enjoy their jobs which made it all the more fun.
Super pleasant evening on the sailboat driven by Jacob and talented mate Ashley! Saw many dolphins, enjoyed music and drinks served by Ashley. Other couples on the cruise from Michigan and Tennessee were great to chat with. Bonus was that we were able to meet the owners Donnie and Tracey who were super helpful!
Great sailing experience with Jacob and Chelsey. Very professional and personable. Highly recommend the Daydreams Sunset sail.
It was awesome, and the staff was top notch. Very knowledgeable. We saw dolphins and the sunset. Drinks were also good
Absolutely Awesome. The crew made everything fun and were very knowledgeable. They did everything to make us comfortable.
We did a sunset cruise and it was phenomenal! Jacob and Jaya were amazing and the view was epic!! Jacob was our captain and got us some amazing spots to view sunset and see some dolphins! Jaya was so hospitable, did amazing with the sails, and made amazing drinks!
We had the best time on the Ohana sunset and dolphin cruise with my family for my dad’s retirement present. Jacob and Justine were so friendly. We saw dolphins multiple times and a beautiful evening and sunset. I would completely recommend this experience in Panama.
We took the sunset sail excursion mid-September. We were told that the weather can be hit or miss, but we had a clear sky and perfect sunset, despite rain most of the day. The crew, Capt. Jacob and First Mate Gage did a great job and sailed up from Saint Andrew Bay to PCB and back, passing by Shell Island. Along with the way we saw dolphins up close and went as far out as the 2 mile buoys. It is a great sailboat and crew. The selection of complementary drinks made the time on the boat that much more enjoyable.
My husband and I had a weekend getaway and decided to try a sunset cruise, the weather was perfect and we got to see some dolphins as a bonus. The boat and the crew were great! Would highly recommend taking this cruise.
The boat was great, the crew was pleasant, great close up views of the dolphins, very nice sunset, free drinks offered. But the primary intended experience for us was the sailing, and it was unnecessarily neutered (minimized) by our crew's choices and by their ignoring our preferences. That day winds had been steady at about 11 mph. Our boat was crawling along (at 5 knots p.h.) with the front sail open, on completely flat water. I asked why they didn't raise the main sale, and the captain stated his concern about wind gusts causing the boat to lien. But there had been no gusts all day, I had seen other boats with full sail and almost no lien, and the wind was steady but really low. Earlier the crew had ignored our preference for the gulf side with its 1 1/2 ft waves, over the bay side which was flat. It did not help that we had to pay double the expected price for our cruise, because 1 1/2 hours prior to sailing we were informed that another couple had cancelled, that we were the only clients, and that if we wanted to sail we would have to also cover their tickets (our other choice being a full refund).
It was my husband's 80th birthday and I wanted to do something special for him. This far exceeded my expectations and he LOVED it. The captain and crew (all women) were outstanding! We saw so many dolphins and even some deer. The night was perfect and the sunset a picture! We met so many great people and enjoyed the music and dancing. My husband said he will remember his 80th birthday forever! He was definitely surprised! A perfect evening.
Wife and I had such a great time on this boat. We were with one other couple who were so fun to hang out with. The crew, Jamie and Connor, were so hilarious and fun. The whole experience flew by because of how much fun we had!
