** Simple, and I solved this to my annoying "know it all" sister's satisfaction when the show was actually on (non rerun). It is a 3 hour tour, but the tour goes from port A to port B (as opposed to circling back after an hour and a half). That is why everyone has so much personal stuff. The Minnow takes guests at Tropical tourist spot A (from their hotels) and then transports them to tropical tourist spot B(where they would have checked into a different hotel). The Minnow picks up new passengers at tropical tourist spot B and takes them to tropical tourist spot A.

** According to Wiki/TheOtherWiki , they served in the Navy during an "unspecified war," during which Gilligan saved the Skipper's life. Bob Denver was 30 when the series started, so if he served at the end of the Korean war when he was 18 or 19, it's not ''that'' much of a stretch. You are correct, though, he would have been too young for WWII.
