Corporate Lodging
Rest near Port Fourchon
Blue Dolphin Inn & Cottages sits about 17 miles - roughly a 20-25 minute drive - from Port Fourchon and 40 minutes from the South Lafourche Airport in Galliano, offering private cabin-style lodging for offshore crews, marine contractors, storm response teams, and corporate travelers working the Gulf. Weekly and monthly rates available. Book direct for corporate pricing.
Built for Crews Who Need Real Rest Between Shifts
Rotating offshore schedules don't fit standard hotel checkout times. Blue Dolphin works around crew change days, early departures, and last-minute schedule shifts - not the other way around.
Flexible early check-in and late check-out for crew change days
Private cottages instead of shared hotel hallways - quieter rest between hitches
Full kitchens and kitchenettes for crews who don't want restaurant food every night, although available just minutes away
On-site laundry access
Reliable Wi-Fi for reporting, video calls, and downtime
Ample parking for trucks, work vehicles, boats, and golf carts
Outdoor grilling areas and a fish-cleaning station for downtime after work
Weekly and monthly rate tiers, billed simply for company accounting

Location
Grand Isle, Louisiana sits at the southern end of LA Highway 1, a short drive from Port Fourchon - the shorebase for over 90% of Gulf of Mexico deepwater oil production and a growing hub for offshore wind servicing. Blue Dolphin Inn & Cottages puts crews close to the port without the drive time or cost of staying further inland in Houma, Thibodaux, Galliano or Cutoff.
