Can y?all recommend someone that would ferry me out to Horn Island Saturday and back Sunday afternoon?

I want to kayak around horn Island and spend a night.

I paddled out there from ocean springs last year. Hard to carry enough gear in a kayak alone to make it a pleasant camping experience.


Thanks!

the only ferry I know of goes to Ship Island ... don't know of anything that goes to horn. That's a pretty decent workout paddling from OS

Multiple charter guys will do it but no idea what they’d charge. Here is someone you could contact to see or get pointed in the right direction https://www.saltwatertherapycustomcharters.com

Thanks guys.

Yep. I paddled across last year. 4 hours. So by the time I got to the island, I was spent. Until the next day. Then I had to paddle back.

If you mean this weekend, you need to change plans. It's going to be nasty out there.

Like Beast said, I bet plenty of charter captains will do it for a price. There used to be a boat in LB that would do just that to Cat Island and had racks to hold a bunch of kayaks. No idea if they are still around.

You better check your weather forecast I am about 70 miles south of there and we will have storms through the weekend.
