Gulfport and Gulfport Municipal Marina, A CRUISERS NET SPONSOR, located in the heart of downtown Gulfport, is slowly recovering from Helene and Milton. Cruisers Net is proud of how the city handled the two storms and we are glad to know things are improving.

Just pass the canal on 10/29-30 /24. 6 feet of water and wonderful stop at the visitor center. A beautiful trip in a serein environment. No rag weeds. A first for us and I am glad we did it.
