Are there hotels with boat slips in Biloxi also?

We always launch at the Gulfport harbor launch, rite next to where the big Ship Island excursion boat leaves from. Easy run on a nice day

I think either the Hard Rock or the Beau Rivage has boat slips, so I would call one of those.

BSL harbor has short terms for $1.75/ft/day. Way better place to stay than Biloxi, IMO. Believe the Pass harbor does as well.

That's probably about right. I do it from the Pass (~17.5miles) in a 20'/115 more weekends than not.

Biloxi/GPT is definitely closer, just different

That’s about right to the harbor, depending on the weather. Gulfport is closer, if you’re not needing a slip Long Beach isn’t a bad run either. The ride back to the Bay can be a pain though when that south wind is blowing!

I get it for distance and access, but man that harbor sucks so bad compared to neighboring cities now. Still not repaired from Zeta either. I grew up and learned how to launch a boat there, but maybe use it 1x/yr now.
