Step aboard the Perdido Queen for an unforgettable harbor tour through Mobile's bustling port. This cruise offers a unique perspective of one of the Gulf Coast’s most historic and active harbors. Glide past massive cargo ships, naval vessels, and the working waterfront as your guide shares fascinating stories about Mobile’s maritime heritage, shipbuilding industry, and the city’s role in global trade.
Along the way, enjoy scenic views of the skyline, the USS Alabama, and the Mobile River Delta. With comfortable seating, panoramic views, and southern hospitality on board, the Perdido Queen makes for a relaxing and educational experience for all ages.

She was purchased in 2024 by Okaloosa County, Florida, moved to Mobile for cleanup, and is now being prepared to be sunk off the Gulf Coast as the world’s largest artificial reef.

5.00Booked for our company's 20th Anniversary party. Team was amazing they were available to answer all my questions. They were awesome when it came to dietary restrictions. There was about 60 of us on the boat and they worked very hard to get us food and drinks quickly. Food was amazing! I am already planning to go back for the Murder Mystery with some friends and my fiancé who also enjoyed the event. Thank you to the Captain, Willie, Brandi, Peyton, Ashley, and Blake.
Highly recommend

5.00This was such an amazingly informative trip not to mention relaxing. We got to see the SS United States before it became one of the largest artificial reefs. We learned so many facts and it was time well spent no rushing and everyone was very polite. We will trying the mystery cruise next!
Great adventure!

5.00Fantastic experience and the Cruise Director was very knowledgeable and informative about the Mobile Bay area. The highlight was seeing the USS United States before being sunk to become a coral reef and home for marine life next month. The staff was awesome and helpful always with a smile! Would definitely do it again and highly recommend. We drove over from Panama City for this trip and a fun night out in Mobile.
Boat didn't go very far

Living the fantasy

5.00Children of 13 and 10 years old. Better than Disneyland, as this ride was six days, not just six minutes. Violent storm in the English Channel has us swinging on red velvet ropes strung in the hallways. Free matinee movies, dinner at the Captains table, and endless running. From the hold storing our car and household goods to the top of the SS United States, we existed in a fantasy land of quiet library to dodging shuffleboard and dolphins dancing alongside the ship in the ocean. The memories of this 77 year old were brought to life again thanks to the Perdido Queen. I will be grateful for the rest of my life.
Fun adventure

4.00We really enjoyed this adventure. The food was good (chicken was a little dry) and the views of the Mobile skyline are beautiful from the boat. The boat was difficult to find. Only one sign that is not viewable from the sidewalk until you are right on top of it. Walked up and down the stairs (lots of stairs) several times trying to find the boat. Should be signs on both sides of the convention center. The right side has construction going on and looks like it is closed. I think it could be marketed a little better. There were only maybe 10 groups/couples on the boat and with how much we enjoyed it, it should be full. Had a good time.
A lot of interesting history on the ships in the harbor.
