Online Sightseeing Ticket Sales
If you would like a relaxing and entertaining weekend, afternoon on the river join us aboard TRACE 1. Bring your friends and guests to share this memorable experience with you. Learn the history of the area during the steamboat/Civil War era and see the world famous Body Farm. A travel writer that recently rode with us commented, "This is the most relaxing tour I can remember." and I am sure he has seen many others.
We are offering history/sightseeing cruises Friday through Sunday (except Saturday home football weekends). Our enjoyable 90 minute narrated sightseeing/history cruise takes you up and down the most beautiful part of the Tennessee River. These cruises depart at STAR LANDING, 300 Neyland Drive from at 3:00* and 5:15. Our narration is entitled "Captain's River Facts and Foolishness" and is delivered by the 150 year old spirit of Sam Clemmons. Our speed allows us to cover more area than our competition and our smaller (19-passenger) vessel lets you to get close enough to feel the true spirit of the river.
Or join us for our evening sightseeing cruises Friday and
Saturday at 7:30. Park in the very upper end of Ruth's Chris parking lot (public parking
area, above the bridge) and walk to our dock or enjoy a meal at CalhounS and then board
the cruise at our dock. This is the same 90 minute historical narrated cruise just later
and in a cooler part of the day. 
*The 3:00 cruise will be on THE STAR Riverboat if we have over 20 passengers
and it is on her schedule or on TRACE 1 if less that 20 or THE STAR is not scheduled.
