Sea Screamer

This was our first time in Pensacola Beach. We spent most of our vacation in Destin and decided on the last day of our trip to check out Pensacola Beach and do the dolphin tour over there. We wanted one pretty early in the day so we called around and the Sea Screamer had a 1:00 PM trip. I am SO VERY glad we caught that one. We had the best time! There are no complaints whatsoever. As soon as we began leaving the marina we spotted dolphins! It was amazing. We idled there for a while before continuing on the tour. We went around Shell Island and then we toured Pensacola Beach where Captain Cody pointed out several historical spots, famous locations, good places to eat, etc. I have to say, I love that this is a local business and owned/​ran by a family. I loved how they were all brothers, nephews, uncles, etc. They were all very knowledgeable. There was a small nephew I believe doing a lot of things on the boat, he was very cute and I was awed by how knowledgeable he was. During the entire trip, they made it very interesting by pointing out different types of jellyfish, giving us interesting facts about dolphins, the islands, everything they could think of. I was never bored. They even pulled a jellyfish that doesn’t sting and crabs and let everyone go up and drive the boat a little. Towards the end of the tour, again, we saw dolphins. It was really nice and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I am recommending this trip to everyone I know. It is definitely a must do! It definitely made our trip and I can’t wait to go back with more members of my family so they can experience it as well! Thank you again Captain Cody and family!

Our first sea adventure in PCB (def. not our last!) We did the dolphin trip, knowledgable staff & affordable pricing. Had an amazing trip!, I was the only one to get up close with a dolphin & get pics we will be going on the sea screamer again!

We’ve taken many boat tours but none as spectacular as the Sea Screamer. Captain Ryan and his First Mate Austin were incredible. We saw dolphins playing and then Captain Ryan got them to «surf the waves» with the boat. We have never seen anything like that so up close! Tour also included brief history of PCB, a «Deadliest Catch» segment for the kids and Captain Ryan let the kids (and adults) «drive» the boat. No cheesy, silly jokes or banter, just sincere great fun. Austin handed out glow sticks after dark to all the kids. We stayed at Santa Rosa Beach and we are so glad we made the drive. Well worth the money and travel time and we plan to make this tour a yearly tradition!

I have so much respect for this family run business. They offer a very reasonable price and work very hard to impress and provide entertainment the entire trip. My wife and I were able to see everything we came to see and more. Thanks for your hard work to make this trip above and beyond what we expected.

Great experience! Crew is so personable and a lot of fun! Nothing negative to say, would do this every night if I could

If you’re not sure if you should do this, stop thinking so much and do it! Awesome experience all around. Sunset cruise only $ 25, would have paid $ 40. Captain and his «crew» were very very professional and entertaining. May do this trip one more time before we leave. This is a must do for anyone visiting PCB.

This is definitely a must if visiting PCB! We took our three kids and my mother on the sunset cruise. The captain and his deck hand made it so fun for everyone! They have affordable drinks and snacks available! Try the Rum Runners! They have so much to do for the kids. Driving the boat, shooting a cannon off at multiple locations, dolphin sightings and catching crabs! The crew is so polite and fun! I recommend if you’re in the area to try this out! Don’t forget to tip these gentlemen they work hard for it! They recommend J Michaels for dinner so that’s what’s next!

I can’t say enough good things about this cruise. We went on the sunset one, and paid just over $ 50 for two people for a two hour cruise. Our tour guide was fabulous and told us how his family owned the business, etc. There was drinks and snacks on the very clean boat, including homemade rum punch which was great. We saw lots of Dolphins and the tour guide also was able to get them to jump in the wake of the boat. We cruised all through the bay, got to hear some history about PCB, and headed out to the ocean to go along the coastline, interact with those on shore and other boats, and lots of other fun things. It was great for children also, there was lots of fun activities for them, and the boat driver even let them all «drive» the boat. Overall a wonderful experience I can’t wait to do again.

Great tour. Saw a lot of dolphins and learned a lot about the area. We had 4 or 5 surfing and jumping behind the boat at one point! I was worried about the heat as this is the middle of summer but the breeze and light spray kept things cool. We took a different cruise in the spring and it wasn’t quite as nice as this one. The kids were a little grouchy and skeptical but had a grrat time. Worth the time and money.
You won’t get wet unless you want to. The captain confines the water gun fight to a small area on the boat. He will also tell you where to stand if you want to get hit with ocean spray and cool off. Plenty of places to sit and stand if you want to stay dry.

Capt Andy and crew were awesome. Very informative too about the areas we were passing on the snorkeling trip. We will be back next time we are here!

My gf and I did the sunset cruise and had a blast! Cody the captain was great as was Michael the first hand. Cortland was also very nice and all gave us great info on local places to eat as well as interesting facts about Panama City. Beautiful cruise and highly recommended for the price, quality, and cheap drinks provided (get the rum punch)

First time in PCB and we chose to do the Sea Screamer because of the stellar Unilocal reviews. The trip did NOT disappoint!
I called early in the week to book our sunset cruise and I’m so glad we did because the only available tour was on our last night here! Call early!
Everyone was super friendly from the moment I called first. I love supporting locally owned small businesses and this is one of the best I’ve ever seen.
Our night started with rain and thunderstorms and I was very disappointed. Captain Cody took us out after a short delay and toured us around the bay. I’m a history girl so I loved seeing the St. Andrews park and town and marina. The fishing boats were really neat! My kids loved it and the staff was just a blast.
My kids are 4 and 5 and we all just loved it. We will most certainly return for another cruise on our next vacation to PCB. Well worth every penny. Well done Sea Screamer, well done!!!

Best value on beach for dolphin tour. We had a blast did the 6pm sunset book early in summer. We had capt Kenny and he knew his stuff and where to find Dolphins. Great for kids, teens, and adults! They added a deadliest catch portion to the trip which was fun for kids. Highly recommend this!

THE best boat ride I’ve ever been on! The captain and his crew were awesome. My sister, niece and I had the time of our lives for the low cost of $ 65 bucks altogether. Everything about the boat ride down to the music played on the boat was great. You do not have to buy anything on the boat as you are allowed to bring your own snacks and drinks. However, if you’re not a packer like myself, bring cash for snacks, drinks and/​or beer. And TIP, if you can, these guys are way too amazing and just flat out go out of their way to make your boat experience the best.
Thanks again! WooHoo!!!

Fun time and awesome activities for kids such as shark tattoos, driving the boat, and holding crabs!

Best experience EVER. In fact, I signed up for a Unilocal account just because of their stellar service. Captain and deck hands were nothing short of wonderful. Super nice and attentive people. This tour was truly a breath of fresh air. They just want to show you a good time and they truly care about your experience. One of the deck hands found a puffer fish for my young boys to observe. Then, the captain found a pod of dolphins and we watched in awe as he enticed them to surf the wake of the boat. These guys know what they are doing and they do it right. Such an amazing experince for my boys. I didnt want it to end! Sea Screamer went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable, informed, and had fun. Because of that, I will recommend them to anyone.

Had an amazing time on the 8am snorkel cruise. The captain and the other guys on board were great and extremely helpful. They were very knowledgable about all the fish and sea creatures people found. They were very interactive with all of us. The snorkeling was so much easier than I thought it was going to be.
The music they played was good and made the whole trip feel very relaxing.
It was such an amazing trip and worth very penny. Beautiful! Indescribable!

Such and amazing time! The Capt and his mates were so kind funny and knowledgeable! We saw dolphins at least three times. We would for sure recommend this tour to anyone! :)

This was a great trip, very friendly and knowledgable captain that kept the entire cruise interesting and well worth the money. My parents frequent PCB and told me I «had to take the sunset cruise, it’s the best $ 20 to spend here.» Well now that I’ve taken the cruise I would have to agree tenfold. It will be a must for every vacation now.
I believe the best thing about the cruise was the willingness to make the trip enjoyable for everyone. Instead of just running through the motions, Captain Cody made a point to make sure you could get the perfect pictures, even if it meant changing direction of the boat to create the right silhouette. The end result is beautiful pictures like these.

During our 2.5 hour excursion (they took us over the 2 hour mark), our Captain Cody hoisted a jelly fish and octopus and we were able to hold or touch these crazy critters! Dolphins, different species of birds, jet shows (from the Air Force Base training), and ship wrecks were also sighted on our journey amongst the Sea Screamer. Crew members fired canons at hotels and beach goers which were pretty awesome. The echoes of the canon made this weird noise that makes you laugh. Captain Cody even let us take over the steering wheel for a bit — which was pretty cool as it was the first time I’ve ever «drove» a boat. Awesome experience and I highly recommend this for all ages!
