Dock wisdom

Check the Mobile Bay ferry schedule ahead of time; sailings are limited and space for cars fills on busy weekends.

Morning is the calmest water for fishing and dolphin trips before the afternoon sea breeze picks up.

Most trips leave from the harbor-side marina by Billy Goat Hole; park at the boat launch lot.

Bring binoculars in spring, the same passes that hold dolphins are alive with migrating birds.

Operators are real local fixtures — confirm current sailing times and prices with each operator before you go. Countdowns run on the real local clock and the sunset sail time is computed from tonight’s actual sunset.
