Ship Island Excursions and the Skrmetta Family are celebrating 98 years of transporting visitors to the Mississippi Islands.

Relaxation, recreation, and history-these are the gifts offered to you on Ship Island. Here in the Gulf of Mexico, about 11 miles off Mississippi’s Coast, are some of the last undeveloped barrier islands in America. Part of Gulf Islands National Seashore and protected by the U.S. Park Service, these exquisite sand islands offer visitors the first high-quality, natural beaches for swimming, birding and shelling east of New Orleans.

A cruise to Ship Island is an affordable, family-friendly adventure and one of the most popular outdoor attractions on the Mississippi Gulf Coast. Passengers are sure to spot dolphins while crossing the Mississippi Sound on the 1-hour boat ride. You’ll discover what locals and visitors have enjoyed for generations, the Coast’s finest beaches.  The passenger ferries depart from the Gulfport Yacht Harbor in Jones Park (intersection of Hwy. 90 and Hwy. 49). Boats operate typically mid-March through October.

 The island is also home to Fort Massachusetts, a beautifully preserved, brick structure used during the Civil War. Seasonal fort tours are offered by the National Park Service. A section of beach with lifeguards is available in summer. Food service is offered on the boats and on the island. Umbrella and beach chair rentals are also available.

A 5-STAR BARRIER ISLAND BEACH EXPERIENCE

"What a great place to visit. We took the trip out from Biloxi on Captain Pete the Crew on the Boat was great. Once out on the Island it was awesome to see the old Fort and the Island was great. Snack bar with clean restrooms a great day away from everything. We will definitely do it again when we are down there."

"Was worth every penny to take the boat out to Ship Island... On the way out and trip back we saw dolphins! The boat was fully shaded and crew was very nice. Ship Island itself is beautiful, water is clear all around it and you will see all kinds of wildlife. The water was much better for swimming than the mainland. Whole experience was amazing, one of the best beaches I have been to. Wanted to go back the next day!"

"We went here because there wasn't anything to do but swim, walk on the beach, or sunbathe. We walked on the beach, then took the fort tour, which was interesting. We had a blast. The best news was that the concession stand had reasonably priced food and drinks, and you can rent umbrellas and chairs so you don't need to drag it with you."

"We purchased tickets online one day before our trip. It was simple and user friendly. We arrived early for the 9:00am departure. Thankfully we did, they had to use two boats for the 9:00 departure. We were able to get onto that first boat, which ensured us an umbrella and chair rental. The day was beautiful, water was clear...it was a wonderful family day trip."

"This is a terrific day-trip! Bring an ice chest, rest chairs and an umbrella and get ready for a great beach adventure. I love going to Ship Island and have been doing it for many years now. It's a bargain and it is a treat to spend the day there! Go! Do it! Love it!"

FOR A DAY ON A QUIET BARRIER ISLAND

Leave the stress of the mainland behind. Board our ferry and cross the beautiful Mississippi Sound, approximately 11 miles out to where the offshore islands meet the emerald green waters of the Gulf of Mexico. As the ferry docks on the north shore of Ship Island, passengers will notice fish and other sea life in the clear water next to the boat. Visitors can tour a beautifully persevered Civil War fort, followed by an opportunity to explore miles of enchanting beach, perfect for swimming, shelling and birding.  A snack bar, picnic pavilions, restrooms, and other visitor amenities are provided.

Island party fun on the water!

Pat was AMAZING! The communication was top notch, he was extremely professional and organized. His boat was clean and the perfect size for our crew! He provided such an amazing experience for my bachelorette from great music, activities, to so much more! Cannot recommend Captain Pat enough.

Luxury Private Charter 48' SeaRay Sedan Bridge (Mila Yenin) in Pensacola, Fl

We came as a first time experience and they both knocked it out of the park! We felt so taken care of and were provided with so many options to use our time. If we are ever in the area this would be our number one thing to do on our list for sure!

Suncatcher G3 Pontoon 24ft in Orange Beach, Alabama

We had a great time with Josh. He is very knowledgeable of the area, and showed us lots of cool things. His boat was super comfortable and had plenty of room. We will definitely do it again.

2024 Single Deck Pontoon Boat Available

10/10 for this experience. The boat was super clean and seemed to be brand new. The staff were just as great - very polite and friendly. My wife and I enjoyed a fun day on the water. The on-board Garmin was a nice touch to see channel markers and find our way back home.

2022 27FT Coach Pontoon with 250hp Honda outboard!

We had the best day on Robert’s boat! He was very accommodating, driving an hour to Pensacola to pick us up. He worked very hard setting up rafts and tubes for the kids enjoyment. His email communication was excellent as well. I would def recommend Robert and his boat to anyone in the area that wants to have a relaxing day on the water. He did all the heavy lifting for us! Very nice and friendly Captain. We will be using him again on our next trip. Also his pictures do not do his boat justice. The boat was beautiful, big, and very clean. I would give six stars if I could.

We could not say enough good things about Mr. Robert and our boating experience. He went above and beyond to be sure we were having a great time and we had the most fun as a big group. I could not recommend him enough and you won’t regret choosing his charter!
