Meet the Crew Monday:

Meet Bailee!

Position: General Manager

Year Started: 2007

Favorite part about the job: I love meeting people from all over. We will have a day where we have a church group in the morning, a school group at lunch, a wedding for dinner, and then a late night fraternity cruise all in the same day. So we will have such a different type of cruise and each one of them is so much fun. I love the variety and how each day is different. I also love that we are part of peoples lives now, that we have people that some on the boat for every anniversary or birthday or whatever that looks like.

Favorite Memory: Oh my gosh, I have too many to name. Most of the staff have heard the same 10 stories over and over throughout my years. I would say my favorite memory was raising my kids on the boat. At a time I couldn't get staff down there, I would just bring Jay and the twins down to the boat and they would work with me. Which is something my parents did with me when I was a baby as well. People seem to love the kids more than me most of the time. Also if you ask her in person, she may have a few memories about some wild late night cruises she can tell you.

Just some additional entertainment for our guests this evening. Look at this awesome line toss. Our cowboys (deckhands) ride riverboats instead horses.

Have your Dream Wedding

Come cruise with us this weekend. Ride slow on the river while enjoying the views and delicious dinner.

Jumping off the plank.

In case you missed WATE today at 3:00. We were on there for our fall color cruises. Check out the interview from Owner, Mike Cheek and Captain Bradley

Check out this great footage of the Riverboat. We found this video on YouTube and contacted the drone pilot/ videographer and he was gracious enough to allow us to use these birds-eye views of the Star. Thanks, Dave!!!

An adorable couple doing the Tennessee Waltz.
