Betsy Ann Riverboat

Price & Hours

• Facilities 2.0
• Atmosphere 4.0

Learn about Biloxi history, the seafood industry's importance to the local economy and the wildlife that call the Mississippi Sound home on a cruise aboard the Betsy Ann Riverboat. The boat, which accommodates up to 70 passengers, operates a variety of cruises year-round. One of the most popular is the two-hour Historical and Ecological Tour, which travels in the Mississippi Sound and around the barrier islands on the edge of the Gulf of Mexico – areas where you might glimpse wildlife like dolphins or pelicans. The tour, which travels between the city and Deer Island, is offered year-round Wednesday through Sunday at 3 p.m. It focuses on local history and the ecology of the Mississippi Sound. Meanwhile, the Hibachi Dinner Cruise, which is offered on select evenings from March through November, features the scenery of the Gulf Coast and a dinner prepared on board. The seasonal Sunset Eco-Tour may head to the sound or Biloxi Bay, depending on the weather. Cruises featuring live music also operate seasonally.

Cruise passengers typically find the excursions enjoyable and the captain's narration informative. Those who opt for the dinner cruise consistently call the food excellent.

Prices vary depending on which tour you take, but generally start at around $25 for adults, $17 for children 4 to 12 and $10 for infants for the afternoon and evening eco-tours. Tickets for the dinner cruises cost around $55 for adults, $40 for children and $10 for infants. Private charters are also available. The boat is equipped with a full bar and snacks available for purchase. Boats depart from the marina located between Margaritaville Resort Biloxi and the Golden Nugget Biloxi Hotel & Casino .

#1 Biloxi Casinos

Biloxi's casinos draw gamblers far and wide – and they're a big part of the city's tourism and history. Many of the area's casinos are connected to megaresorts that bring in millions of dollars for the city, and they have certainly seen some changes (and improvements) over the years. All of the city's casinos were originally floating gaming venues: They were required by Mississippi law to be built on barges separate from the land communities (in an attempt to isolate gaming activity from the general public). But when Hurricane Katrina hit in 2005, all the casinos were either severely damaged or completely destroyed. A new law allowed the casinos to be rebuilt on land and hoteliers invested in the construction of new or refurbished casinos.

Some of the most popular gaming spots in Biloxi include the Beau Rivage Resort & Casino , the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Biloxi , IP Casino Resort Spa , Harrah's Gulf Coast and Treasure Bay Casino and Hotel . These properties are not only home to casinos, but also offer accommodations and amenities like spas, fitness centers and pools. Beau Rivage also boasts a theater that receives rave reviews and has featured musical acts like Tony Bennett, ZZ Top and Martina McBride as well as comedians and dance performances. When it comes to gambling, the casinos host everything from table games, roulette and slots to poker rooms and high-stakes card lounges.

Betsy Ann Riverboat

From the time you board the Betsy Ann Riverboat until the time you step off the boat, we promise you an experience that creates memories to last a lifetime. Come aboard… close your eyes… listen to the paddle slapping the water in perfect time… and let your mind wander! There is no better way to enjoy the beautiful waters and scenery of historic Biloxi Bay than on a true old-fashioned paddle wheel boat. Whether younger or older, you imagine a bygone era – when paddle wheelers were the modern marvel of their time – the days of Mark Twain. Come learn the history of the Betsy Ann, Mississippi Gulf Coast, Barrier Islands, and more. Come enjoy the peacefulness of just being on the water. See lots of playful dolphins and watch the brown pelican flying in formation just inches above the water or diving from the air to catch a fish. You can even come up in the pilot house with the captain, steer the boat, and get your picture taken with the huge wheel. The lower enclosed cabin is heated and cooled for year-round comfort. Enjoy sights and sounds on the covered open-air upper deck. The Betsy Ann is Coast Guard certified to carry 150 passengers plus crew. We are docked between The Golden Nugget and Margaritaville.
