    Island Time Sailing consistently delivers memorable experiences on the water, according to enthusiastic guests who rave about the friendly, professional crew. Names like Clay, Sarah, Carter, and Emma come up repeatedly, with reviewers praising how attentive and fun the staff makes every trip. The tours offer multiple options including sunset sails, dolphin watching, and trips to Shell Island with snorkeling opportunities. Guests appreciate the party-boat vibe with music, games, activities like a water slide, and reasonably priced drinks and snacks onboard. The dolphin sightings seem reliable, though marine life can be somewhat seasonal and unpredictable. One guest noted that Shell Island doesn't have the abundance of collectible shells the name might suggest, just typical beach fragments. The crew provides all necessary equipment including snorkels and life jackets. Some booking flexibility exists too, as boats may be combined when capacity allows. Several reviewers mentioned returning for multiple trips or planning to come back, which speaks volumes about the overall quality and enjoyment factor of these excursions.
