Here in Mississippi, we’ve got plenty of options when it comes to waterfront dining, but none get you as close to the water as a dinner cruise on the Betsy Ann Riverboat. Based out of Biloxi, the boat offers mouthwatering hibachi dinner cruises several nights a week. Almost as impressive as the food is the scenery, which includes close-up vistas of the Gulf, nearby Deer Island, and possibly a few dolphins. Take a look:

Dubbed one of the “most unique adventures in Biloxi,” the Betsy Ann Riverboat is a historic paddleboat that offers a variety of cruises.

As you dine in the open air, you’ll get to watch Chef Hurley display is mastery of hibachi cooking – and then you’ll get to taste it.

Sure to hit the spot, the classic hibachi dinner includes egg drop soup, fried rice, your choice of shrimp, chicken or steak, and vegetables.

The boat even includes a full bar, so you can enjoy a cocktail – and the beautiful vistas – after filling up on hibachi.

Remember, seating is limited due to the time constraint of preparing meals for multiple passengers so reservations are required.
