on the 80 foot Paddle Wheeler.

Berthed at Port of Rochester, the Harbor Town Belle was designed and built on the banks of the Genesee River. The Harbor Town Belle harkens back to simpler times when her sister riverboats plied the greatest American waterway, the Mississippi over a century ago.


A Safe and Sturdy Ship The Belle, during construction, received a rigorous monthly Coast Guard inspection to insure all construction was according to ABS (American Bureau Shipping Standards). Stability tests are a requirement under these standards, which were completed before it began operation in August of 1998. The vessel now receives an annual Coast Guard inspection, meeting qualifications that are much more thorough than any current New York State requirements.		The Belle offers Heated and Air Conditioned decks. She can accommodate up to 128 people for most any Event including: Private Parties Corporate Events Weddings Charity Functions School Excursions ...And More!!
