🏆⛴️ You never know who you’ll meet on the Belle Chasse Ferry!

New Orleans-area native and 2026 NBA Champion Mitchell Robinson was spotted aboard the ferry, making the trip a little more memorable for these young passengers.
A Chalmette High School alum, Robinson brought an NBA championship home this summer — and apparently still knows the best way to cross the Mississippi. 😉

Thanks for riding with us, Big Mitch!
