The experience

A pontoon perspective, with room to look around.

Good Jibez Only offers a shorter sunset outing aboard a 32-foot fiberglass pontoon. The supplied description focuses on coastal scenery and wildlife watching, with up to 18 passengers rather than the much larger decks of some catamaran cruises.

The route description names St. Andrews Bay, the Gulf and the waters around Shell Island. Dolphins and shoreline deer are possibilities to look for, not promised encounters. A cruise past the island is not the same as landing there.

The operator also sells separate daytime dolphin and snorkeling trips. This page covers the 90-minute sunset product only: it does not add snorkeling equipment, a swimming session, dinner or an open bar to a ticket that does not establish those inclusions.

Know your ticket

What is included?

The sunset pontoon outing

  • Approximately 90 minutes on the water
  • The 32-foot pontoon described in the supplied offer
  • Coastal views around St. Andrews Bay and Shell Island
  • Opportunities to look for dolphins and shoreline wildlife
  • A passenger limit of 18 in the description and checked listing

Keep separate

  • No meal or open-bar package is established
  • The listing mentions drinks for purchase; confirm the selection
  • No snorkeling or island landing is established for this sunset ticket
  • Gratuities and transport to the marina should be checked separately

Sunset sightseeing, not the snorkeling excursion. Keep the operator’s different products separate when choosing a time. A photograph of an island or marine life does not add an island stop, water activity or guaranteed sighting to this ticket. Source notes ↓

An evening on the water

From Lighthouse Marina into the evening.

An outline of the experience, not a fixed route or a minute-by-minute schedule.

  1. Meet the crew at Lighthouse Marina

    Use the meeting instructions on your ticket for the dock beside the Grand Marlin Restaurant. The checked listing names 5325 North Lagoon Drive.

  2. Settle into the pontoon

    Board for the shared sunset outing. The 18-passenger limit describes the trip size; it does not make an individual ticket a private charter.

  3. Watch the coastline and wildlife

    Enjoy the bay and Shell Island scenery while looking for dolphins and shoreline wildlife. The route and any Gulf portion depend on the crew’s decisions and conditions.

  4. Take in the sunset and return

    Watch the changing light from the boat, then return to the same meeting point. The published duration is about an hour and a half, rather than a timed island visit.

Start at the right place

Lighthouse Marina, North Lagoon Drive.

A little preparation

Before you go.

Keep your marina address handy

Several tour boats use North Lagoon Drive. Save the meeting details for your own operator rather than following signs for the first sunset boat you see.

Check refreshments before packing

The export does not establish an included-drinks package or a BYOB policy. Confirm what you can bring and what is sold aboard.

Ask about access

The checked booking page lists the trip as not wheelchair accessible. Discuss your boarding needs directly with the operator before purchasing.

Leave wildlife expectations flexible

The description mentions both dolphins and deer. Treat them as opportunities to observe, not part of a guaranteed checklist.
