The web site also didn't have the right price it was $25 per person, not $20. If you paid at the dock, you had to pay cash. The web site said you couldn't do reservations, yet we were the only ones that didn't have reservations. We had done this trip the last time we were in Biloxi (pre-Katrina). My husband went onto the upper deck and said when the captain's dog brought up drinks (yes, you read that correctly, he wears a special vest with pockets for beverages!) the dogs snapped at him, too. The couple took their dogs to the upper deck and I stayed on the lower deck with our dog. I'm surprised the captain allowed those dogs on his boat, especially with his own dog onboard. Luckily, I had the leash tight so I could pull her away quickly. I was a little concerned however, when a family with large dogs was on our tour and when I asked the man if our 20 pound dog could meet his he said yes, but his dogs growled and snapped at my dog. The most interesting thing I learned was that Maryland blue crabs are actually Biloxi blue crabs, since Maryland has harvested them to extinction in that state! One nice feature of this tour is that dogs are allowed. The aquarium contents are then held up one by one and talked about, some even passed around to hold. Whatever is caught is put into a small aquarium or fed to the hovering seagulls. Although we were there during the off-season, the boat still goes out and demonstrates how to drop the nets and bring them up again.
