Ship Island Excursions ferry

Gulfport, MS

Saturday optional island day: transfer to Gulfport Harbor, about a one-hour ferry each way. Give Ship Island the day instead of squeezing in another excursion. Seasonal service and weather affect sailings; check the current calendar. A mainland museum and coastal stroll are the backup.

Biloxi Shrimping Trip

Biloxi, MS

Sunday morning: a 70-minute shrimping demonstration with a real trawl and sea-life explanation, if the operator's schedule fits. This is not a full working day aboard a commercial boat.
