Had a great time. The Captain explained alot about the ecology and economy with shrimping. Alot of interesting facts. The sea creatures brought aboard were interesting and fishes I had never seen before. I encourage you to take this tour- it is kid friendly and dog friendly too. It was a hot day, but I thought very comfortable on the lower deck. Make sure you tip the crew well- they work hard so everyone has a great time. It is an easy boat to get on and off. Very few steps for the lower deck. They also do charter fishing. I think it would be fun, too. Very reasonably priced. Thank you Captain and crew! JoAnn read more

A great excursion. We learned a lot about oysters, shrimp, and their efforts for conservation. We saw shrimp, squid, puffer fish, fish and crabs. A hands-on trip. Just the right amount of time on the water. Would definitely go again. I'm sure you would learn something new each trip. read more

Despite being a rainy day, this was still a fun trip. The captain started off by giving an overview of how they got the business started and what all they do. Then you get to board the boat and go around dragging the net for shrimp. Once we caught a bunch of sea creatures, he explained in detail what all the fish and shrimp and other sea creatures were that we caught. This was fun for the whole family and small children will enjoy the trip as well. The boat does not go very fast, so no need to worry about sea sickness. And the water is pretty calm. Overall we enjoyed the educational trip and getting to play with a few of the fish in the sea. read more

We had a nice time in our trip yesterday. My son loved being able to go on the top deck to look out and come back down when the catch was being pulled in. He allowed everyone to touch anything considered safe from the catch which my son really loved. Very friendly and knowledgeable team running the boat. We were early and got to hear about how clams are cultured. ( I believe that's the correct terminology) read more

What a fun activity to do while visiting Biloxi! The gentleman who hosted my family was entertaining and filled with great information and interesting facts. The boat was safe and comfortable. My family of about 25 members fit on the boat. Everyone, from the youth to the elders had a good time. We were able to experience the shrimping process and were amazed at the sea life that was rangled in, including beautiful blue crabs and interesting fish. We were treated to fresh cooked shrimp, which was a highlight for everyone. An awesome time! read more

Always a big hit when I have friends and family visiting! With shrimp being the centerpiece for most meals when visitors come to the coast, this experience to learn about the industry, local economy and the sea life! I took my family including my two nephews (6 & 3) and they loved seeing the nets get put out, what got scooped up, and being able to hold the shrimp! The boat ride is smooth and pleasant with seats below and on the top deck. The staff is personable and entertaining while always knowledgeable. I had emailed them a few times with questions and they were quick to respond to me! The shrimp tour lasted about 2 hours, and was a great afternoon activity! read more

If you're vacationing, on business, or just passing through the Mississippi/Louisiana/Alabama Gulf Coast, make plans and time to take the 90 minute Biloxi Shrimping Trip, a tourist attraction since 1954. Your affable captain and mate will take you on a highly education yet entertaining cruise through Biloxi Bay, explaining the local shrimp industry, the life of the shrimp, all about the different colors and sizes and how they are caught. A hands-on demonstration will show you a net cast into the bay and pulled aboard to reveal the bounty of the Gulf Coast waters, including shrimp, fish, crabs and more. Each species brought aboard will be labeled and explained. The trip is only $20, and the return is much more rewarding than what you'll get in a casino. In the summer, they sail three times daily, 10:30, 1:30, and 3:30. Soft drinks, bottled water and beer are available onboard for a very nominal price. The entire trip takes place at a slow speed in the placid waters of the protected bay, so it's a calm, smooth cruise. If you're interested in grabbing a mess of Gulf shrimp to take home, at very reasonable prices, the Captain can direct you to the best locations to buy directly off the boats. I took their advice and was very pleased with the outcome. Of course they know all the best local restaurants, too, if you need suggestions. The tour is pet friendly. Fancy some off-shore fishing? The same crew can arrange short guided trips on a very economical basis. All departures are from the small craft harbor at 693 Beach Blvd, in Biloxi. Traveling east, the turn in is on your right just past the Hard Rock Casino. I cannot recommend this highly enough. Reservations needed ONLY for very large groups: 228-392-8645. read more

Shrimping Trip - Fishing Near Me - Biloxi, Mississippi

We took the trip yesterday and it by far exceeded our expectations. A really well narrated experience by the captain, Mike, and Billy the deckhand, a pair of authentic Cajun fishermen. They truly want to tell the public about their sustainable industry (oysters and shrimp), and they do a great job. I learned a lot, especially about the Gulf of Mexico and its unique ecosystem. These genuine conservationists work hard and are living the life! It should be a great school trip for kids of any age, I wish I'd had something like this when I was at school. This was definitely a highlight of our visit. read more

We had an amazing time. The Biloxi Shrimping Trip was fun and educational. We would love to go again and see what comes up in the fishing net! read more

This was such an unexpected pleasure trip. I wanted to learn more about fishing and shrimping. This was a great way to learn. We went out with a full boat and we learned all about shrimp. How to spot good shrimp, what to look for when shopping, and how they freeze seafood! I have been to Biloxi often and wish I had done this trip before. This would be great for all ages. The captain is so knowledgeable and will answer any questions you may have. Then I learned that they take people out to fish and it's not hella expensive. Since I have never done it before I didn't want to pay almost 1000 and be scared. We were leaving the next day so we couldn't go fishing but next season (she said March or April) I will be there with the family! read more

This was a fantastic trip. My family (two adults, kids aged 5, 9, and 13) stopped here while passing through Biloxi, and it was worth every penny. The pre tour lesson on oyster growing was interesting and we all enjoyed hearing about the work our boat captain and his daughter have been doing. The trip aboard was educational and entertaining. Our captain was engaging and did a great job connecting to the kids. There was also a couple from out of the country who struggled a bit with the language, and the captain was incredibly kind and understanding when working out payment with them. We caught a bunch of different sea life and got a lesson on all of them. Definitely recommended this tour! read more

This was a very fun trip! The man running the trip, David, was very kind and personable. He took time to educate everyone on various different topics that make the fishing industry what it is, not just talking about shrimping; this included topics like economics, farming, and even the coast guard! He identified everything that he caught and was very educational about how it was used in todays market, whether it was sold on the docks that we departed from, or turned into something sold on shelves. I really appreciated that he let us move around freely seeing as the experience is over an hour and it can get uncomfortable sitting in the same spot for so long. In addition, he gave us great recommendations for restaurants in the area, seeing as most of us were from out of town. I highly recommend this experience, it is a great price for what you get to do! I will also say, there were a plethora of children on our ride, and the captain was very kind and letting the children be involved in the show-and-tell process. Which I am sure was a delight to them and their parents! read more

We have taken this trip several times. The guys are so informative and tell great stories. The "mom and pop" or "little guys" shrimping business is explained with tips on when to buy shrimp off the dock for super cheap!! There is a time for holding what is caught in the net while each little sea creature is described. Overall a wonderful experience for anyone new to visiting Biloxi. Additionally they end the trip with ideas of local restaurants and what each is known for. read more
