The Bama Belle was a private and public cruise venue on the Black Warrior River.
The business is now closed, and you can see the Bama Belle still around Alabama with her owner Craig Dodson.

Hello to all the fans and followers of Belle. I'm hoping this message finds you all well. Spring is here and the river is beautiful again. The wisteria is hanging from the sycamore and cottonwood trees. The dogwoods buds are full and ready. Any day now Alabama will explode with new life. Unfortunately we won't be able show it to you this year. But the river remains
And the beauty of another spring is here.
Spring is like a baby and gods promise that the world will go on. Y'all go to the river.
We will all get through this.
Capt. Craig

Hello. I am Mark and I help my friend Captain Craig sometimes. But i wanted to take a moment and say that this man loves his boat, and is very proud to have her. He works so hard to provide a safe, reliable, and enjoyable experience for every customer. Being locally owned and operated, every customer is important and he treats them that way. If you have never been on board, or want to go again, be on the lookout for this year’s cruises. Craig is an asset to Tuscaloosa and to Belle. Before him, Belle just sat in disrepair. It takes a lot of work to keep an old girl running as strong as she does. He works daily doing something for Belle. Please show him our appreciation! As Craig says “y’all come to the river!”
The cruise for 2/14 is sold out. 2/15 still has openings. Remember, tickets are not transferable, so if someone tries to offer you tickets for the 14th, it is a scam.
