Frequently Asked Questions

1. What time is sunset in Florida?

Sunset times vary throughout the year in Florida. During the summer season the sun will set closer to 6pm. Most of the sunset cruises Tripshock offers depart before sunset giving time to sail out in to the gulf waters. This leaves plenty of time to watch the sun set over the Gulf of Mexico.

2. Is alcohol allowed on the sunset cruise?

Most of our sunset cruises allow alcohol on board, excluding glass bottles. Coolers aren't only encouraged, but typically required. Most cruises also offer a bar where drinks and snacks can be purchased. All vendors ask customers to drink responsibly. Please check listing details for specifics.

3. What should I bring on my sunset cruise in Panama City Beach?

Customers are asked to bring a camera, sunglasses, drinks, snacks, and music (many boats have bluetooth capability). Food and drinks can be kept in a small cooler. You can also bring a light jacket if you feel you may get cold after the sun sets.

4. Will we see dolphins on our sunset cruise?

Yes. Our sunset cruises have a 98% success rate in finding dolphins. Although this is not a guarantee, it is more than likely you will be able to see wild dolphins during your sunset cruise in the Gulf of Mexico. If you're looking for a sightseeing cruise that specifically searches for dolphins, visit dolphin cruise Panama City Beach.

5. Are Panama City Beach sunset cruises kid friendly?

Yes, most sunset cruises are kid friendly. There are exceptions. Some sunset cruises are designated for adults only, given the nickname "booze cruises". These may be 18+ or 21+ only, and serve alcohol as part of the experience. Out of all the boat rides Panama City Beach offers, sunset cruises aren't the MOST kid friendly. They tend to be more relaxing and quiet than adventure excursions and dolphin cruises.
