Fantastic!

My wife and I celebrated our 21st wedding anniversery on board the Ms. Bilioxi and she was fabulous. My wife and I met while we were still in the Navy and became a reminder of why we loved the sea. We were able to connect as best friends and enjoy how and why we fell in love. The accommodations were the best. Thank you for such a fantastic time.

Charleston First Timer

If you’re looking for an unforgettable experience in Charleston then I highly recommend staying on Ms Biloxi. The minute I made inquiries about the accommodations the owner Christian was extremely responsive, informative and he remained this way for the duration of our trip. Giving me and my niece a piece of mind for our first trip to Charleston and furthermore staying on a sailboat. The location of the Ms Biloxi at the marina was perfect with unobstructed views of the amazing sunsets. Watching the many dolphins right around the boat everyday was so enjoyable. We will forever remember our stay and we definitely be back!

Beautiful Miss Biloxi

Amazing time on Miss Biloxi. Our weather was beautiful and our host Christian was amazing. He was in constant contact with us and anticipated our needs before we had to ask. Holy City bike rentals were key and we had beautiful mornings running/biking the Battery and coffee after. Bathroom and shower was quite a bit of a walk (for kids) but we quickly remedied with a scooter we brought from home. An overall wonderful experience and we even made friends with the locals (dolphins). Thank you Christian!
