great tour! highly recommend! saw dolphins and caught shrimp. really nice people and fun tour

Was awesome experience! The two men (Mike? Dave?) that run the cruises are very interactive and friendly with humor interspersed. We got to see how shrimp are caught in net and what other types of fish can get into net. We're Able to hold various fish also. Got up close and personal! Not a glamorous boat, it's a working boat so don't expect fancy. It's all about seeing how shrimp are caught. I def Recommend it. Was great learning experience! read more

Great trip! The captain did an excellent job steering the boat in windy condition. The guide was informative and had great stories as well as great interaction on the tour! would recommend if looking for something to do. Tour takes about and hour and 15 minutes read more

this was one of the worst!! Started off with a haphazard placement of the ramp to get on the boat - not safe at all. NO ONE out of the crew of 3 bothered to help anyone on board - just complained that not everyone had arrived, we still had 10 minutes before scheduled departure. When the guests did arrive, on time, it seemed like they were getting scolded for not being early. The guy with the microphone had a lot of knowledge about shrimp and he passed shrimp around the boat so we could all hold one, but that was the extend of any engagement. This is on your website "The entire catch will be identified and presented for your inspection by the Captain". This did not happen on our trip - we watched as he cleaned the net out and fed the birds whatever was in the net. He pulled small flounders out of the net and put it in the fish tank and commented about sandwiches for later. We were not allowed on the upper deck of the boat, so very difficult to enjoy the scenery. The people on our trip seemed lazy and unprofessional, don't waste your money or your time! read more

We had such a great trip. It was windy but because we were on the lower deck you got the breeze without the craziness. We were with Captain Mike and deckhand Dave. They were really informative. Dave told us all above the shrimping process. It was both educational and fun. He told us about everything we caught. We got to hear drums croak, see a catfish, hold shrimp and other fish. Captain Mike told us all about the area and recommended restaurants. This trip is pet friendly which I thought was kind of neat. Another participant brought their dog. The resident ship dog TJ was so sweet. He came right up to me and sat next to me for pets. Highly recommended. read more

we had a fun time learning all about shrimping and the many types of shrimp. Our captain and very knowledgeable guide were very entertaining !! read more

Awesome very informative tour! Captain doesn't sugar coat anything and we dig it! Involves the kids in everything! There is a covered area underneath and a full sun area up top. Be prepared to get hot! They do have snacks, beer, water and cokes for sale and very reasonably priced! 1$ cokes, 2$ beers. Highly recommended!!! read more

Great trip. Fun, interesting and informative. If you have kids, a fun experience. I am glad I went on the trip.

I highly recommend doing this tour. The tour guide is friendly and even rescued my friend's hat that fell out of the water. 10/10 recommend!

This is very cool but it's for younger kids. Don't take your teenagers unless they are easily impressed. But do take younger kids they'll love the slow ride and catching one shrimp. Set the right expectations and you'll love it. read more

This was great, deck hand was super nice, funny and gave a great tour. Our dog was allowed to board too, she has fun looking over the side. Very cool to see the birds hover over the net and get fish when they were thrown back. Dolphin spottings too. read more

Come early because there are no reservations. They limit the amount of people who can be upstairs in the open, but half way thru they switch whomever wants to switch. The inside is shady but a third of the windows don't open, so it gets very warm. The boat stays inside the barrier islands so they go slow and there are no rough waters. The guides are funny and informative. This is a great inexpensive thing to do with kids. read more

Reasonably priced and really cool tour. Learned about the shrimping industry from the guide while out on the open water of the Gulf of Mexico. No reservations, so arrive a little bit prior to the tour's starting times. Cash only. read more

This was a fun tour. You're only gone for about an hour and don't go very far out but the tour guide was funny and informative. You learn a lot about shrimp and shrimping on the gulf coast. It was fun to see the things caught in the net. Definitely a great fairly inexpensive thing to do in Biloxi. read more

Shrimping Trip - Shrimp net - Fishing Near Me - Biloxi, Mississippi

The crew were very friendly and cheerful, there was even a dog they let me hang out with which I loved. It was very fun to watch all the different creatures they pulled up in their net and hear facts all about them. They even gave recommendations for food and entertainment at the end which was very helpful. read more

Lots of fun and very educative. They let you touch and hold the crab. They also let us bring our dog

We had a great time on this excursion. David explained the life cycle of a shrimp as well as how the shrimping industry has evolved in the past 100 years. How fun to see the net being set and examine what it eventually caught. We caught shrimp, crabs and a variety of fish. If you get the chance....Go! read more

On the whole this was a disappointment. The tour was a couple of hours on a largish boat with both indoor and outdoor seating. It left from the Biloxi harbor and stayed inside the line of the islands offshore, so it was never in rough water. On the way out the tour guide talked about shrimping and mostly made sense, though he did get into considerable exaggeration at times and got some facts wrong. After perhaps a half-hour, they let down a trawling net and dragged the seafloor for maybe fifteen minutes and then pulled it up. (There was a gaggle of sea gulls following us *very* closely -- they obviously knew that there would be some easy food.) The best part of the tour was when he poured out the catch -- some crabs, some fish, and several dozen shrimp -- and sorted through it, explaining what each was before tossing it out for the gulls. The worst part of the trip was the way back when the other guy on board (who was piloting the boat until then) spend at least ten minutes talking incessantly over the loudspeaker shilling for a dozen restaurants. He claimed it was just his recommendations, but he listed the daily special with price for each, so I expect he was not just mentioning his own favorites. We were very disappointed and do not recommend this except for someone looking for a very tame tour -- it would probably be a good choice for someone with small kids. read more

This was a really great trip for the kids. Took about 2 hours. Make sure to drink plenty of water during the summer. We did not have a great catch of shrimp but did catch an eel, pocano, flounder and some other fish. The guide was very knowledgable and made the trip fun for the adults as well. I would definitely recommend for tourist and locals. read more

This was great to learn about the shrimping industry. But other than that, I had higher expectations in the shrimping process. I was hoping that we would have gone out further to sea and actually got some good size shrimp. read more

We did the 70min shrimping trip, it was fun and we learned all we need to know about shrimping season. The guides we knowledgable about the area and recommended great places to eat. Because there had been bad weather the day before they weren't able to catch much in the net when we went. read more

This was fun & not too expensive. The boat was very crowded bc they had cancelled their early tour. The couple running the boat is knowledgeable & friendly. My 8 year old loved when they caught some seafood. He got to hold a shrimp, got close up with crabs & lil fish. I would recommend this tour bc it's informative, interesting & fun. read more

We came for the 130 tour but there were not six people so the boat doesn't go out; we came back for the 330 tour. Cool tour, took a little over an hour. Guide was nice and pretty funny. A lot of info about shrimping and the gulf. When they brought up "the catch" there were various kinds of fish, shrimp, and crab. Kids really enjoyed holding the shrimp. read more

Just went on this today. I thought it was a good value excursion, and I learned a bit about shrimp and the shrimping industry. I'm not sure what Mark O. expected, but maybe his bar was set too high. We caught a shrimp, several crabs and assorted fish. The two guides did a great job of both entertaining and educating. Very laid back. The trip was concluded with some dining suggestions as we headed back to the dock. We are out of towners, and I appreciated them as we like to hit local establishments. Expect sea gulls. It's the coast. read more

Love this tour. The guides are very funny yet knowledgeable. Sixteen bucks a head isn't bad at all for a trip around Biloxi. I would recommend this to anyone vacationing on a budget. read more

Awesome time. We love being out on the water and the kids 5 and 25 had a good time seeing the fish he pulled up. Highly recommend!!!

What a fun tour. One of the crew. Sang songs. On his guitar. Good voice you could sit in the shade or in the sun. Dolphins followed the boat on the way out. Alot of info. About the gulf and. Shrimping when they brought the net up. Everything was identified. A lot of seagulls. Smelled dinner well worth 17.oo. Wife not into seafood loved the tour read more
