Dixie Belle is a Lake Havasu City, Arizona-based tour boat offering a variety of curated cruises on Lake Havasu. The operation features intimate dinner cruises with limited seating, scenic one-hour sunset tours, seasonal holiday tours during the Festival of Lights, and special-event sailings such as a New Year's Eve cruise and a BalloonFest chase tour.
Dinner experiences include themed menus — for example, a Stoney's-hosted dinner with Smothered Pork Chops and desserts, and a taco buffet from Steven's/Steve's Tacos with chicken, steak, and al pastor options and a salsa bar. Several cruises include full bar service, and specific events highlight unique amenities such as heaters, hot beverages, and a complimentary midnight champagne toast on New Year’s Eve.
Boarding details vary by tour: the Mother's Day brunch departs with a morning boarding time, sunset tours allow boarding 30 minutes before departure, and select holiday sailings specify evening embarkation. Ticketing is limited for certain dinner cruises (notably capped at 30 seats for exclusive dinners), supporting an intimate, table-service dining experience.
All offerings center on scenic views of Lake Havasu, the island, and iconic sunsets. Dixie Belle provides themed, ticketed cruises for travelers seeking memorable dining and sightseeing from the water in Lake Havasu City.
