What to do and see in Mississippi Gulf Coast, Mississippi Gulf Coast: The Best Sightseeing Tours

Take a 2 hour Historical/Ecological Tour, Sunset Cruise or a Dinner Cruise on a 150 passenger paddlewheel boat. We have a climate controlled main deck with restrooms and bar and an open but covered upper deck. We are also available for private charters.

Your family and friends will be very comfortable if you hire our Biloxi-based non-fishing rental, with an on-board restroom, experienced boat crew, and delicious food offerings! Let your charter boat crew take you on a boat ride to Deer Island with a view of the Biloxi Casino Row from the water. And then sail out to Horn Island with white sand and stunning warm emerald green waters, as immortalized by the Ocean Springs painter, Walter Anderson. You can swim, float in the warm water, or relax on the white sandy beaches. No-one can guarantee dolphins and this is not called a dolphin tour but there are dolphin sightings year round in these fishing waters between Biloxi Back Bay and Horn Island. The dolphins are often seen near the Biloxi shrimp boats that make shrimp excursions into the Gulf.Charter our boat, out of Biloxi, and experience a relaxing boat ride with views of Ocean Springs.

Hancock County’s 13-mile stretch of beachfront and 30 miles of roads and pathways have something for everyone: multiple birding sites, biking and walking trails, blueways (waterway trails), parks, historic sites, and much more. Perfectly situated along many of these byways are quaint shops, charming restaurants, comfortable lodging, and a vast number of recreational activities.

"The 70 minute living marine adventure" The pride and heritage of Bilox comes alive aboard this unique and interesting cruise. The Biloxi Shrimping Trip exposes our guests to the spectacular world of sea life-caught on a real shrimping expedition. The net is set out with full details of how and what makes it operate. When the catch is pulled in you will experience all types of marine life.

Relaxation, recreation and history; these are the gifts offered to you on Ship Island. Here in the north central Gulf of Mexico, about 11 miles off Mississippi's Coast, are some of the last undeveloped barrier islands in America. Part of Gulf Islands National Seashore and protected by the U.S. Park Service, these exquisite sand islands offer visitors the first high quality beaches for swimming and shelling east of New Orleans. Travel to a special place where attractions include: outstanding beaches, beautiful water and clean gulf air. Locals and visitors consistently rate the 22-mile round trip to Ship Island as the coast's premier beach experience. Visit historic Fort Massachusetts on your own, or on a Park Ranger guided tour offered after passenger ferries dock at West Ship Island pier. Shrimp boats, tugs with barges and ocean-going freighters are some of the many sights you'll see as you venture across the Mississippi Sound out to the clear, green waters of the Gulf of Mexico. Watch for dolphins! Atlantic Bottle-nosed Dolphins are frequently seen playing in our boats' wake and feeding near the island beaches. The finest beaches on the Mississippi Gulf Coast are located on Ship Island. Tranquil stretches of barrier island shore invite you to picnic, explore, and "decompress". Pristine gulf waters surrounding Ship Island attract swimmers and body surfers. The National Park Service provides a designated swim area with life guards in summer. Emergency assistance is available 24 hrs. on the island. Beach chair and umbrella rentals are provided. An easy one-third mile stroll along a boardwalk is required to reach the more popular Gulf of Mexico swim beach on the south side of the island. Don't expect to find condos or a shopping mall on the island. Except for the old fort, boardwalk, restrooms with showers, and a covered picnic area near a small snack bar, you'll find very little development. Food service is also available on the boats. Dress comfortably and be prepared for the sun, especially from mid-June thru August. Hats, eyewear and sunscreen are important. Small backpacks and coolers are allowed on the ferries. Be advised, glass containers are prohibited on Ship Island. Since the National Park Service does not supply waste receptacles, visitors must pack out whatever they carry on Ship Island.
