They’ve put together an entire live marine adventure that shows the ins and outs of all things shrimping, with the chance to encounter blue crabs, flounder squid, pufferfish, and other sea life along the way.

Wolf River Canoe and Kayak, Long Beach, MS

One of the most highly anticipated tours here are the full moon adventures that take you through scenic wilderness under a bright full moon. But for the rest of the month, they also offer group trips of varying distances that put you in control of your canoe or kayak with plenty of stops for fun. It’s a great way to see the little known side of Mississippi’s scenic landscape where no car could ever go.

Sailboat Excursions in Biloxi

Enjoy Sailboat Excursions aboard Gypsy Lady, a Hinckley Sailboat from the Biloxi Small Craft Harbor next to the Hard Rock and Beau Rivage casinos. Gypsy Lady is a Hinckley Bermuda 40 , a classic American-made sailboat. Captain Jay is your USCG licensed Captain.

About your Sailing Adventure

Thank you for reaching out to Adventure Charters about scheduling a sail. This is Captain Jay and before we talk about a specific time and date let me tell you what it is that my first mate and I do.

We offer sailing trips aboard a beautiful Hinckley Bermuda 40 sailboat. The duration of the sail can vary but most guests select a three-hour experience which costs $300 (for the boat, not per person). I provide ice, water, sodas, and set-ups. You are free to bring snacks and beverages your group particularly enjoys. Most guests also leave a tip at their discretion for the first mate.

The boat is located and our sails begin and end at slip E-9 in the harbor just east of the Hard Rock and Beau Rivage Casinos. You can enter 679 Beach Blvd. Biloxi on GPS and literally park 10 feet from the boat. If you still have any difficulty finding us feel free to call me at (228) 380-0471 .

Had an amazing solo trip with Captain Jay and first mate. Saw so many dolphins, which was awesome and very unexpected. I recommend this trip for anyone looking to just enjoy spending time on the water.

Altoona, IA

I am blown away by the experience of Adventure Charters! Captain Jay was easy to communicate with and quick to respond. My wife and I are wanting to learn more than anything and he customized our time for what we were really looking for. Extremely affordable. And would definitely recommend to ANYONE wanting to just get out on the water for a relaxing and fun-filled day OR if you’re like me and want to learn. He explained in detail but also in a way that we could understand. Really such a pleasure. We’re excited to get back out on the water with him!

Had a great time! The captain was super cool and very knowledgeable. The boat was gorgeous! And we even saw a dolphin 🙂
