Bit forward the end he played the up to date music and the floor was packed. I had to grab my mask due to covid. He did provide a disclaimer regarding refund if anyone was uncomfortable due to social distancing but overall. We had a delightful time and would return again!

Listen up, Biloxi crew if you're just holing up in the casinos, stuffing your face at buffets, and…read morenever stepping foot on the sand or a boat, you're straight-up robbing yourself and disrespecting the good people of the Gulf Coast. Come on, y'all! This ain't what Biloxi is about. I rolled into town ready for some real adventure, and after chatting with locals (who know their stuff), they all pointed me straight to Ship Island Excursions. Best decision I made the whole trip. The boat ride out? Pure magic. About an hour across the sound, wind in my hair, and that captain man, what a character! He had us cracking up the whole way with his stories, pointing out dolphins like it was no big deal (spoiler: it was a big deal flipper squad escorted us like VIPs). The narration was gold: history, wildlife, tall tales, the works. Felt like we were in on some secret Gulf adventure. Once we hit Ship Island, it was game on. White sand beaches that look like they belong in the Caribbean, crystal-clear water way better than the mainland, and that old Fort Massachusetts to poke around in. I rented a chair and umbrella, plopped down, and let the sun do its thing. But let's be real I couldn't just sit still. Me and a couple new buddies from the boat got up to some harmless shenanigans: epic shell-hunting contests, splashing around like kids, trying (and failing) to build the world's saddest sandcastle before the tide won. One guy swore he saw a mermaid; I didn't argue. We were all just living our best lives, laughing our heads off. The whole vibe is chill but electric the crew keeps everything smooth, the people are friendly as heck, and you feel like you're part of something special. Pro tip: Pack snacks or hit the concession stand, but don't miss the ride back more dolphin sightings and that golden-hour glow over the water. If you're in Biloxi and you skip this, you're cheating yourself out of one of the top "had to do it" experiences on the coast. Casinos are fun, but this? This is the real deal. Boat cruise + beach escape + good folks + zero regrets. 10/10, do it every time you're here. Ship Island Excursions just earned a permanent spot on my Mississippi must-list. Can't wait to go back and cause more (friendly) trouble out there!

Now, I realize fishing varies but I don't think the Captain gave it his best effort and was more concerned about getting back early. I don't think I would rebook, I'll try someone else in the future. Since I selected this charter based upon reviews that I read, I felt compelled to give this captain a good honest review. Disappointing!

After about 40 minutes, we got to the swamp. Our swamp tour guide Chris was professional and found us a bunch of critters to look at. We saw alligators, turtles, raccoons, and a blue heron. We almost booked with a different popular swamp tour agency, but they charged double the price that Honey Island Swamp Tours did. Funny enough, we saw their boats on our tour which means we probably see the same exact things they do. I'd definitely recommend this tour agency to see the swamp. We had a great time, thank you!
