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.

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.
