If you’re looking for a luxurious day on the water with all of the amenities of home then the Southern Belle is the boat for you! This 45’ Sea Ray Express Bridge has everything that you need to have some family fun in style! Your captain, Chris, is gregarious, endearing and extremely knowledgeable of the Alabama Gulf Coast waterways. You’ll also experience true southern hospitality from stewardess, Jessica. They’ll have you feeling pampered and relaxed in no time!

The spacious, air conditioned interior has plenty of bench seating perfect for enjoying some cocktails and there are also two restrooms on board. The stern is equipped with a custom made cedar table and plenty of seating. Up on the bow, the gorgeous view and sea breeze steal the show. There you’ll find comfy bean bags, bench seating, and a bunny pad that are perfect for kicking back while taking in the cruise.

We arrived with our husbands and children (ages 3 months to 5 years) at San Roc Cay Marina for our day charter. We were warmly greeted on the dock by Captain Chris and Jessica and welcomed aboard the Southern Belle. After filling out some paperwork and a brief safety meeting, we were encouraged to get comfortable and prepare for the charter to begin. The children were so excited to explore the boat and there was plenty of space for them to move around. Jessica was so helpful and it was so nice to have an extra set of eyes on our little ones. She even made sure that we had a cabin available to change and feed the baby and the other cabin we used for nap time.
We cruised around the islands, up Ole River, and all around Terry Cove and learned about the tour they give vacationers, who may not be as familiar with the area. Jessica was amazing the entire charter and made sure that we had everything we needed.

We went to Pirates Cove for bushwackers and burgers and to let the children run and swim out some energy. After that we headed to the Flora-Bama Ole River Grill and Yacht Club to enjoy the live music and have some cocktails. This experience was incredible and we give it two thumbs up for sure! It’s perfect for a group of ladies wanting a full day or afternoon of pampering, a family wanting something fun and entertaining for the adults AND the children, or a group of friends celebrating a milestone event like a birthday or bachelorette/bachelor party.
