The Drive • about 1.5 hours from New Orleans; about 2.5 hours from Baton Rouge
Getting to Biloxi from Louisiana
Louisiana visitors make an easy run east to Biloxi. From New Orleans it's about a 1.5-hour drive on I-10 to Biloxi Small Craft Harbor; Baton Rouge is about 2.5 hours; Lafayette is roughly 3.5 hours; and Shreveport is about 5 hours. Most Louisiana guests treat it as a weekend getaway.
Louisiana has great inshore fishing of its own, but anglers looking for a true deep sea fishing Biloxi experience — a 37-foot air-conditioned sportfisherman with a 100-Ton USCG captain and the latest electronics — make the short drive to Shearwater. It's a different kind of trip: offshore reefs, wrecks, and pelagics from a comfortable, family-friendly boat.
