The Brand: Southern Belle Riverboat shows off Chattanooga and the Tennessee River

June 1, 2021 at 1:00 a.m. | Updated June 24, 2021 at 12:17 a.m.

by Mary Fortune

* Location: 151 Riverfront Parkway, and all along the Tennessee River

* Online: chattanoogariverboat.com

* History: The Southern Belle Riverboat was designed by marine architect Captain Alan L. Bates and built in 1985 at the Serodino Boat Yards in Guild, Tennessee, which is about 25 miles downriver from Chattanooga. The riverboat was eventually sold to John Goldfine, of Duluth, Minnesota, and relied on key employees at the riverboat, including Captain Vince Vita and Joy Reinert. Vita was general manager until he left in 2007 and passed the job on to Reinert. In 2011, Joe and Joy Reinert purchased the Southern Belle for $2.6 million from owner ZMC Hotels, capping a 26-year career of service on board the well-known tourist attraction. The Reinerts have worked in nearly every role as part of the crew as far back as March 1986 when Joy joined the crew.

* Services: The Southern Belle cruises year-round and carries well over 100,000 passengers per year. The Southern Belle Riverboat has daily sightseeing cruises, lunch cruises, and dinner cruises as well as private charters. The company has expanded into 2 vessels, a grand banquet hall on the second deck of its dockside vessel, and a full-service restaurant above that.

* From the owners: The Southern Belle Riverboat started out with a simple vision: Give a great guest experience of Chattanooga, show everyone the beauty of the river, and give everyone a different perspective of the city of Chattanooga. That message is still the same, the boat crew at The Southern Belle Riverboat still strives to give our very valued guest a great cruise, great service, and a great experience.

The Heavenly Kingdom on Red Square at Spring Twilight

The view of Pokrovsky Sobor (Intersession cathedral), the original name of St. Basil's Cathedral, on Red Square in Moscow, when lights were just on against the darkening sky at the begining of April, 2014. The church's design is based on deep religious symbolism and was meant to be an architectural representation of the New Jerusalem - the Heavenly Kingdom described in the Book of Revelation of St. John the Divine.

The famous St. Basil's Cathedral was commissioned by Ivan the Terrible and built on the edge of Red Square between 1555 and 1561. The cathedral was built to commemorate Ivan the Terrible's successful military campaign against the Tartar Mongols in 1552 in the besieged city of Kazan. Victory came on the feast day of the Intercession of the Virgin, so the Tsar chose to name his new church the Cathedral of the Intercession of the Virgin on the Moat, after the moat that ran beside the Kremlin. The church was given the nickname "St. Basil's" after the "holy fool" Basil the Blessed (1468-1552), who was hugely popular at that time with the Muscovites masses and even with Ivan the Terrible himself.

St. Basil's is a delightful array of swirling colors and redbrick towers. Its design comprises nine individual chapels, each topped with a unique onion dome and each commemorating a victorious assault on the city of Kazan. In 1588 the ninth chapel was erected to house the tomb of the church's namesake, Basil the Blessed. The eight onion dome-topped towers are positioned around a central, ninth spire, forming an eight-point star. The number eight carries great religious significance; it denotes the day of Christ's Resurrection (the eighth day by the ancient Jewish calendar) and the promised Heavenly Kingdom - the kingdom of the eighth century, which will begin after the second coming of Christ. The eight-point star itself symbolizes the Christian Church as a guiding light to mankind, showing us the way to the Heavenly Jerusalem and it represents the Virgin Mary, depicted in Orthodox iconography with a veil decorated with three eight-pointed stars. The cathedral's star-like plan carries yet more meaning - the star consisting of two superimposed squares, which represent the stability of faith, the four corners of the earth, the four Evangelists and the four equal-sided walls of the Heavenly City.

This southern take on a classic Moscow Mule replaces the traditional simple syrup with our Southern Sweet Tea Glaze. The Sweet Tea Glaze adds a subtle depth to the flavor to give this classic a true Southern twist.

In a copper mule mug over ice add:

• 2 oz Vodka (we like to use Tito's)
• 2 oz Captain Rodney's Sweet Tea Glaze
• 1/2 oz Fresh Squeezed Lemon Juice
• 4 oz Ginger Beer

garnish with a lemon wedge

On a side note our Southern Sweet Tea Glaze can be substituted into any recipe that calls for simple syrup on a 1:1 basis to add a little southern flair to your concoction.

In 1985 a man that went by the name Captain Lump saw an opportunity in the City of Chattanooga. An opportunity for a riverboat on the TN River! That riverboat he had envisioned would become one of the top attractions in Chattanooga and one of the top things to do in Chattanooga! Thus in 1985 The Southern Belle was born and built not but 20 miles downriver from where she sits now by Serodino Shipyards, and the rest is history!

The Southern Belle Riverboat started out with a simple vision, give a great guest experience of Chattanooga, show everyone the beauty of the river, and give everyone a different perspective of the city of Chattanooga. That message is still the same, the boat crew at The Southern Belle Riverboat still strives to give our very valued guest a great cruise, great service, and a great experience.

The Southern Belle Riverboat was sold some years later to a gentleman named John Goldfine. He was a quirky man, but had a brilliant vision not only for the Southern Belle, but the entire city of Chattanooga! John Goldfine lived in Duluth, MN and heavily leaned on his key employees at the riverboat. Captain Vince Vita and Joy Reinert to name a few. Captain Vince became the General Manager a couple years later and ran the operation until he passed it on to Joy! Vince, among other things, was an ambassador not only of the riverboat but also of the city of Chattanooga. That sentiment has resonated with the crew ever since. The crew of the Southern Belle Riverboat has a bigger purpose than just your experience while you’re on board, but to make sure you have all the information you want and need to enjoy the beautiful city of Chattanooga.

This riverboat ride in Chattanooga used to only run a couple months out of the year and carry 20-30,000 passengers a year, we are proud to say we now cruise year-round and carry well over 100,000 passengers per year! This TN Riverboat has daily sightseeing cruises, lunch cruises, and dinner cruises as well as private charters! The Company has expanded into 2 vessels, a grand banquet hall on 2nd deck of our dockside vessel, and full-service restaurant above that!

Our goal is to not only serve the awesome locals and visitors of Chattanooga but to bring that joy to other cities across this nation!

The Southern Belle Riverboat is one of the top attractions in Chattanooga, has fantastic Chattanooga weddings, and is still the only way to have sightseeing cruises, lunch cruises, and dinner cruises while cruising down the TN River and enjoying picture-perfect views of Lookout Mountain and all the beautiful nature this great city has to offer!

Looking Forward to the future,

Jon Reinert General Manager Chattanooga Riverboat Co.

• Chevron down History of the Pier 2 @ the Landing

Pier 2 @ the Landing was purchased in June of 2006 and brought here from a scrap yard right outside of St. Louis, Missouri getting ready to be scrapped for metal. The casino boat was once known as the President and was docked in Louisiana and made it’s way to Davenport, Iowa after it was sold to continue operating as a casino boat. It was christened in 1992 and offered casino on all three levels.

It was reconditioned and renovated in New Hope, TN for 8 months undergoing new paint, wallpaper, carpet, the installation of a 2500 square foot kitchen and a banquet deck, gift shop and eventually 3rd Deck Burger Bar in 2010. The President had no engines but was pushed by a tug boat that fit into the circular facade and appeared as one unit, it had Captain quarters for the overnight crew and a crew kitchen.

The Chandelier Deck accommodates up to 400 guests and is the perfect setting for Proms, Weddings, Receptions, Rehearsal Dinners, Military Reunions, Family Reunion, Class Reunions, School Lunch Trips, Corporate events and much more! Situated on the Tennessee River and featuring an all enclosed climate-controlled deck with an outside patio that overlooks the City Pier, TN Aquarium, and the downtown skyline!

The Chandelier Deck is unique to where you can bring in your own food or we would be happy to cater your event, we offer, buffet dinners for a more social setting, plated dinners or hors d’oeuvres! The elegant room is lined with gold ceilings, small white lights running around the room and a 10 foot in diameter hanging from the center of the room!

What a great wedding venue in Chattanooga to have your Chattanooga wedding! The best place to have a wedding on a boat, and also the best place to have a wedding on the river! The Southern Belle Riverboat does it all from rehearsal dinner in Chattanooga to rehearsal dinners on the river! We have a full wedding rental and can supply everything down to the cake!

• Chevron down History of the 3rd Deck Burger Bar

The 3rd Deck Burger located at Ross’s Landing in downtown Chattanooga was a brainstorm idea where a space was created right next to the Southern Belle Riverboat and the 3rd deck directly above the Southern Belle’s gift shop and Chandelier Deck on Pier 2 that is a setting for banquets, class reunions, weddings, rehearsal dinners, proms, receptions, and corporate parties. The owners wanted to create an environment where folks felt like they were at home, with cozy couches, tv’s, darts, ping pong, foosball, and welcoming relaxed atmosphere.

Great burgers & fries with a cold beer was first on the list to offer to our guests! We use black Angus handcrafted 1/2 lb. burgers with skin-on fries for a filling and delicious bite. Not to mention, a great view of the riverfront with views of our historic bridges, Walnut, Veterans, Market, and Oligiati Bridges, with the Tennessee Aquarium as the backdrop. On any given day you’ll see kayaker’s, paddle boarding, folks rolling blading, biking from our Chattanooga rent a bike program to just flying a kite at Coolidge Park.

The 3rd Deck Burger Bar offers poker on Monday nights, Game Night on Tuesday nights, Ping Pong Tournaments in the works and Dart Leagues on a regular basis! There’s always things to do in Chattanooga, enjoy Ruby Falls, Rock City, Incline Railway for a scenic journey on Lookout Mountain, then join us downtown for a cruise on the Southern Belle Riverboat and then hop off and join us in the 3rd Deck Burger Bar for a cold spirit, friendly conversation and incredible views!

The 3rd Deck Burger Bar offers you stunning overlooks of the TN River from it’ s outdoor patio, see things like the TN Aquarium, The Riverbend Festival, The Chattanooga Ducks, and the Chattanooga Cycle boats. You might even catch Chattanooga ducks scarfing down some food kids are throwing to it on the banks of the TN River. You can down see boat rides in Chattanooga and dinner boat rides from the 3rd Deck Burger Bar patio by watching The Southern Belle Riverboat pull off the dock of the Chattanooga Riverboat Co.

Dakota Case now manages the 3rd Deck Burger Bar and has done a fantastic job in customizing the experience around the customers’ needs and wants. Whether it be a couple from overseas wanting to have a bite to eat and a good conversation with a local, to a burger bar party where we can fit 300 ppl for an enormous amount of fun. The 3rd Deck Burger is great activity for families in Chattanooga and The 3rd Deck Burger Bar is also a fun activity for a couple in Chattanooga.

Come say hey to Mark, Shelley, Jen and the rest of the crew at the top attraction in Chattanooga!
