Paradise Adventures Catamarans and Watersports will always strive to provide our guests the highest level of service within our industry. This will be our 13th season and we promise to make every effort to exceed our guests’ expectations by providing fun, entertaining and unique experiences that will make lasting memories of their vacation in Panama City Beach, Florida.
Donnie and Tracey Coker are the owners of Paradise Adventures Catamarans & Watersports. We started operations in February of 2013. We got this fun and amazing idea over 20 years ago when we got married in Jamaica and took a Catamaran Cruise during our Honeymoon. After spending 8 days in Jamaica, we both agreed that, aside from the actual ceremony, the Catamaran Cruise was the highlight of our stay. After many years of flirting with the idea, we decided that if we were ever going to take a GIANT leap of faith, it was time.
We have two wonderful kids, a 20 year old boy named Trey and a 17 year old girl named Charley. We have both lived in the Panama City Beach area for most of our lives. We have worked together in other industries for the past 20+ years and are about as close as any one couple can be.
Our goal in starting this business was to have the most entertaining experience that would help create other family’s lifetime memories to share. Our highly trained staff and crew are the very best around and are truly an extension of our family. They are always professional and friendly towards all of our guests. We are spoiled that we are able to come to work at the Marina every day with our amazing crew and we hope that after College, our kids will be able to take over the business, so that we can travel and sail all over the world! We certainly love what we do and truly enjoy meeting new people every day. It makes all the hard work worth it when see our guests get off the boat tours with smiles and hugs for the staff!
We offer a diverse fleet of U.S.C.G.-certified vessels designed for comfort, safety, and unforgettable experiences. Our flagship catamaran, the Privateer, is a spacious 52-foot vessel that accommodates up to 78 passengers, while the Footloose, a sleek 40-foot catamaran, comfortably hosts up to 38 guests. In addition to these stunning catamarans, we offer the luxurious 47-foot sailboat Daydreams for private & public charters, the versatile center console boats Cokernuts & Hanai, a 26 passenger Tiki Boat, 5 pontoon boats, and a selection of kayaks and paddleboards for exploring the Gulf Coast’s emerald waters. Known for delivering the safest, most professional, and exciting water excursions, Paradise Adventures creates memories you’ll cherish for a lifetime. All our vessels are conveniently located behind the Bluegreen Bayside Resort & Spa.
