“Summer means happy times and good sunshine. It means going to the beach and having fun.”—Brian Wilson, Co-Founder of the Beach Boys.

Host an event your guest will never forget
The Southern Belle Riverboat will turn your special occasion into a party that will be talked about for years! As one of the top things to do in Chattanooga and one of the best Chattanooga attractions, it’s a venue that checks every box for your celebration to be one you’ll cherish forever.
In addition to our relaxing, feels-like-you’re-in-a-movie river cruise, we have a fantastic dockside banquet hall that can accommodate up to 400 people. Many of our private event charters: reunions, weddings, birthday parties, or corporate meetings, will do a hybrid event. Wedding, ceremony, party event or meeting on the Southern Belle as you pass the Tennessee Aquarium and then come back and have a beautiful reception on the second-floor banquet hall.
Brian Wilson was right, summertime means happy times and good sunshine. No venue in the Chattanooga area can make your party pop quite like Chattanooga River Cruises. The ambiance created by our luxurious and comfortable riverboat combined with the glorious sights provided up and down the Tennessee River and its magnificent shoreline can’t be topped. Give us your special event checklist and you won’t be disappointed—Southern Belle Riverboat is the ultimate celebration event venue in Chattanooga!
Of course you have to head over to AT&T Field and check out a Chattanooga Lookouts baseball game— is it really summer if you haven’t watched an outdoor baseball game? And speaking of Lookout—there’s no sense spending any time in Chattanooga in the summertime without a nice hike into Lookout Mountain. Lover’s Leap and seeing seven states in Rock City are both just a few miles from downtown Chattanooga. And finally– we’ve saved the best for last—you simply have to take a riverboat cruise down the Tennessee River on a Southern Belle Riverboat!
Honestly, it would be tough to find a more relaxing way to spend a summer afternoon or evening than taking a breathtaking cruise on the Southern Belle—Chattanooga’s premier sightseeing adventure. The Southern Belle Riverboat offers daily
